Lecture Night, Wednesday 29th July 2026 - "The Greatest Force: Bomber Command in WW2" presented by Marcus Gibson

​
​Our fifth lecture of 2026 is presented by former Financial Times columnist Marcus Gibson. 

“The Greatest Force”, is a book which analyses for the first time the full, crippling impact of RAF Bomber Command against the Third Reich. In this, the most controversial war book of recent years, he overturns all previous histories and reveals why the campaign shortened the Second World War.

Marcus will have books for sale on the evening and will be able to sign copies.


As usual, the lecture will take place in the Peter Scoley Hall. Doors open at 7.00 PM and the lecture starts at 7.30 PM. There will be a short interval around 8.15 PM with the lecture normally closing around 9.45 PM. Entry is free for members presenting a valid membership card. Tickets for non-members are available on the door or you can buy in advance through our online store HERE.

We look forward to welcoming you back to Metheringham Airfield Visitor Centre for our third lecture of the year.
