John Thaw (Inspector Morse, The Sweeney) provides a truly outstanding and electrifying performance as Sir Arthur 'Bomber' Harris - one of the most controversial commanders of the Second World War - in this highly-acclaimed BBC Drama.
February 1942. The outcome of the war is in the balance. Harris is appointed Commander in Chief of RAF Bomber Command.

He will forge one of the most powerful bomber fleets ever assembled and use it to obliterate the industrial cities of Nazi Germany. The death toll among German civilians will be horrendous.
