Raves and Reviews
"In this meticulously researched work, Wilson lays out an exacting reconstruction of the aerial campaign of 1943. A vivid, complex picture of this phase of the war, with an eye toward remembering those involved as increasingly unappreciated heroes. This is a solidly written, engaging military history."
– Publishers Weekly
"A densely detailed, chronological, frequently gruesome account of British bomber operations against Germany in 1943.The author has mined the archives and interviewed dozens of elderly survivors, so his accounts of perhaps 100 missions are rich in anecdotes as well as nuts-and-bolts technical descriptions, fireworks, blunders, courage, and death.This record of essentially all 1943 British air operations will appeal to military buffs."
– Kirkus Reviews
"A detailed history of WWII air campaigns. Airborne in 1943 is just the book to hand history buffs committed to knowing everything about WWII."
– Booklist
"The riveting, true story of the unprecedented ‘Dambusters’ bombing campaign against Germany during World War II. An expertly researched, engagingly presented account of wartime heroism in aviation."
