Flying Knights,
By "saileach" (Hartsville, SC USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: B-17 Flying Fortress Units of the Eighth Air Force (1) (Osprey Combat Aircraft 18) (Paperback)
This excellent book by Osprey Aviation details the beginnings of the B-17 units of the U. S. Eighth Air Force in England during World War 2 until the war's end. Liberally illustrated with photos, line drawings, and paintings, it also provides a partial Bomb Group Assignment chart, numerous personal anecdotes, and follows the careers of many celebrated fortresses.A nice section on nose art examples rounds out a worthy tribute to this fine aircraft and the men that flew in it.

A Great Buy!,
This review is from: B-17 Flying Fortress Units of the Eighth Air Force (Part 2) (Paperback)
I found this book and its counterpart to be great reads. Full of rich stories and great photographs, there is not much else you can expect. I definitely recommend this book to anyone interested in aviation history and to anyone interested in World War II aviation history specifically. The book marks the heroism and courage of th bomber crews over the Third Reich. Well worth the money spent.
