Imagine a world with no visible horizon and no sight of the earth below – searching for a killer who may be fifty miles or fifty feet away. That was the experience that night – fighter crews endured from the start of aerial warfare until halfway into World War II. But even the invention of radio navigation aids and radar gave only a small clue in the night sky over Hitler’s Europe. As German fighters sought the Allied heavy bombers as they labored towards their distant targets, they were in turn pursued by Allied long – range night fighters. These days fighters carry sophisticated software – driven missiles that will hunt and destroy targets many miles away, night or day. Air War at Night describes the process by which the aircraft, equipment and strategy of night aerial warfare reached the operational perfection we take for granted today. 144 black/white photographs.
