The Peenemunde Raid
by Martin Middlebrook
On August 17, 1943, RAF Bomber Command set out to destroy the secret research establishment where Nazi scientists were developing state-of-the-art rockets. Although the bombing "crept back" from its target, and the cloudless sky made the British aircraft perfect targets, they succeeded in disrupting Hitler's weapons program. Containing the remembrances of over 400 people from both sides--flight crews, researchers at the site, and foreign laborers forced to work there--this classic history is thoroughly irresistible.
The Big Show
by Pierre Closterman
This is absolutely the best fighter pilot memoir of World War II. Pierre Closterman was a Free French fighter ace and his account of the air war over Britain and France has justly become famous. It contains everything one could wish for: wonderfully observed descriptions of wartime Britain, frighteningly evocative stories of in-the-cockpit action, an amazing cast of characters, and all the drama and bravery of a man fighting a desperate war thousands of feet above the ground. An undeniable classic and a true page-turner.

The 100-year secret; Britain's hidden WWII massacre
Jacobs, Benjamin
The Lyons Press, 2004. Hardbound. New Book. Hardbound. In May 1945, with the war nearly over, the British Royal Air Force attacked a fleet of ships in the Baltic Sea carrying more than seven thousand survivors of the Neuengamme concentration camp to Sweden. Jacobs, then 25, was one of the 350 survivors, and tells his story. The Air Force thought the ships contained escaping SS officers, but there is evidence that British intelligence knew better, which is why the records were sealed until 2045.

The 100-Year Secret Britain's Hidden World War II Massacre
Jacobs, Benjamin & Eugene Pool
The Lyons Press. New. 2004. First Edition (?). Hardcover. Complete number line (10 9 8 7 6 5 4 3 2 1) ; ; <div>On May 3, 1945, the Royal Air Force attacked a fleet of ships carrying ten thousand survivors of the Neuengamme concentration camp. The war was nearly over, and the survivors had endured one of history's most hellish ordeals, only to die at the hand of their allies. <br><br>The bodies, in the striped black-and-white uniforms of camp prisoners, were soon washing ashore on the beach by the town of Timmendorf, near the Baltic port of Neustadt. Benjamin Jacobs, then twenty-five, survived by escaping the hold and clinging to wreckage. He was one of only 350 survivors, and one of the last of those. Days before, Jacobs had boarded the Cap Arcona, along with thousands of other prisoners. A commandeered luxury liner, the Cap Arcona was a dilapidated wreck. Nearby, the freighter Theilbeck, in similar condition, was also attacked. <br><br>There is reason to believe the Germans were intending to sink it themselves. Though they claimed the prisoners were headed to Sweden, the ships may have been nonfunctional. The RAF believed the ships contained escaping SS officers. Tragically, British intelligence may have known who was on the ships, which may explain why the RAF has sealed the records until 2045. This story appears in no history books-not in Germany, England, or the United States. No one tells it. So Benjamin Jacobs must. <br></div> .
