About this copy
This first edition tells the history of the US 8th Air Force's 1st, 2nd and 3rd Air Divisions during World War 2, drawing on personal accounts and interviews with surviving crew members. Bowman combines eyewitness narratives with extensive period photography, many images published here for the first time from private collections. The book covers the full campaign from 1942 to 1945, featuring B-17 Flying Fortresses and B-24 Liberators in the European theatre.
Hardcover with illustrated dust jacket. The jacket retains its original £20.00 net price.
