The heroics of the airmen who served in the
United States Eighth Air Force and fought in
the embattled skies of Europe during World
War II are legendary. When in 1942 they
commenced their campaign against Nazi
Germany, their arrival sent a deep shudder
of despair through the German High Command.
For the next three years, whilst RAF Bomber
Command bombed at night, by day the American
Eighth Air Force pounded the enemy war
machine to its knees until, by May 1945,
victory had finally been won.
128 page hard back case-bound book
Overall size approx: 9½ x 12 inches
This commemorative book provides a unique glimpse into the lives of some of the men and machines that fought in that bitter, often titanic struggle, together with some of the extraordinary missions they flew.
Beautifully illustrated using an unparalleled collection of paintings, drawings and specially created maps and diagrams from the archives of the Military Gallery, this book is not simply a collection of artwork; first and foremost it is a historically accurate recollection of events, painstakingly researched with the assistance of leading historians.
