Bomber Command Operations
A Daily, Visual Summary
Based on the statistics documented in 'Bomber Command War Diaries' by Chris Everitt and Martin Middlebrook,
a museum volunteer has created a series of graphs that display the number of sorties flown
by Bomber Command for each day of the war.
As well, the number of sorties of various types are indicated by different colours -Raids to Germany,
Raids to Occupied countries, Gardening (sea mining), Army support, etc.
Total losses for each day are shown too. For each year of the war, full-scale monthly graphs may be viewed.
Note that the vertical scale remains the same throughout.
As well, a compressed view of the graphs for the entire war may be viewed.
These clearly show how Bomber Command's strength and focus changed as the war progressed.
