Sir Arthur Travers 'Bomber' Harris, 1st Baronet, GCB, OBE, AFC, Marshal of the Royal Air Force and Air Officer Commander in Chief of Bomber Command during the Second World War gives a frank and passionate interview in defence of the legacy of Bomber Command and the Allied air offensive on Nazi Germany.

At the age of 85, Sir Arthur laments the revisionist perspective of the role that the strategic bombing of Germany played in Allied victory and seeks to 'put the record straight' in service of the memory of the men he served with.
