Unique Rare WW2 Target Leipzig Book A Cooper Signed 56 RAF Bomber Veterans. Target Leipzig - The RAF's Disastrous Raid Of 19/20 February 1944 by Alan Cooper, hard back book with dust cover published 2009, both in very good condition. Seventy-nine heavy bombers failed to return from the catastrophic raid on the industrial city of Leipzig on the night of 19/29 February 1944. Some 420 aircrew were killed and a further 131 became prisoners of war. It was at that time by far the RAF's most costly raid of World War II. The author explains the concept of this third raid on Leipzig and describes the two previous ones in October and December 1943, both of which had been deemed successes. He looks at the third raid from every angle, including the defending forces and describes the daylight raid that followed on the 20th by the USAAF. The book includes appendices listing all RAF aircraft and crew on the raid, route maps and includes many photographs. This copy has been signed in the book across three title pages by the following 56 WW2 RAF Bomber Command Veterans.
