They dropped thousands of bombs and laid hundreds of mines, flying 102,486 sorties notching up a total of 290,895 operation flying hours. They achieved this at a cost of 1,973 killed and 1,388 wounded. They won 342 British gallantry awards.Adam Zamoyski is the author of multiple award-winning works about Poland, Napoleon, and nineteenth-century Europe. Zamoyski lives in London and contributes to the London Times, Daily Telegraph, and Guardian.
