For Bomber Command to launch a "maximum effort" raid on the Ruhr by night, or low-level strike on an enemy target in occupied Europe by day, a huge amount of planning was involved. The book covers such details as who decided the policy; why, when and where the airfields were built; and how the overall command structure was or organized.
