Not sure you can get this in the US, but if you can it’s a great book.

It’s a factual account of the events leading up to and including the third week in Feb. 1944 when the combined Allied Air Forces launched their first ever round-the-clock bomber offensive. Officially called Operation ARGUMENT it quickly became known as The Big Week. Highly recommend it !!

Sure we can get it...there's this small bookseller called Amazon....:)
https://www.amazon.com/Big-Week-Biggest ... s=big+week

Lately, I've saved money by buying hardcover from Abe Books... their softcover is $8 less expensive, or $3 cheaper if you get free shipping from Amazon:

:? :? Is this a new book, or a new printing of a book?

I remember reading a book of this title and subject in school back in the late '70s. :(

If you look on the aforementioned new/used book sites, you'll see there are 2-3 other books with that title.
