This book includes: The Type O Bombers: Covers the development of the Handley Page O/100 and O/400. Famously inspired by a naval commander's request for a "bloody paralyzer" to halt the German advance, these massive aircraft boasted unprecedented 100-foot wingspans. The V/1500 "Berlin" Bomber: Details the even larger four-engine V/1500, a colossal aircraft scaled up in 1917 specifically to reach and bomb Berlin from bases in England. Squadron Service: Chronicled using rich operational data, Bowyer charts the history of the Royal Naval Air Service (RNAS) and RAF squadrons that flew these behemoths. They executed high-stakes tactical and nighttime strategic raids against submarine pens, rail systems, and industrial hubs across the Rhineland.
