This is an air campaign title with the RAF and USAAF seeking out the launch sites of Hitler’s V-1 and V-2 weapons. There are charts of planes taking part, illustrations of routes, full colour artwork dramatising the events, contemporary photos of the locations after they were overun and plenty of text describing how the sites were found and subsequently attacked.

Be aware, though, that the typeface is particularly small in order to get everything in so it can be hard to read at times. It’s a well-produced, handy little guide.
