Air power for Patton's Army,
By A Customer
This review is from: Air power for Patton's Army: The XIX Tactical Air Command in the Second World War (Unbound)
A case study of one air-ground team's experience with the theory & practice of tactical air power employed during WW2 campaigns against Germany. By the fall of 1944, the Allies had 5 fighter-bomber tactical air commands (TAC) supporting field armies in NW Europe. Of these the U.S. 3rd Army commanded by Lt. Gen. George Patton & the XIX TAC led by Brig. Gen. Otto Weyland were perhaps the most spectacular air-ground team of the war on the Allied side. The great success of Patton's drive across France & South Germany, owed a great deal to Weyland's airmen. This cooperation paved the way for allied victory in Western Europe & today remains a classic example of air-ground effective. Maps, photos, drawings.
