This review is from: Lion in the Sky: US 8th Air Force Fighter Operations, 1942-45 (Hardcover)

THE BOOK, FROM START TO FINISH,COMBINES JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF AN OVERALL LOOK AT VIII FIGHTER COMMAND FROM A HEADQUARTERS STANDPOINT,(IN REGARDS TO STATISTICS,LOGISTICS,MAINTENANCE,ECT.)WITH A GREAT LOOK AT DAY TO DAY OPERATIONS WITHIN THE FIGHTER GROUPS,AND AN EMPHASIS ON THE INDIVIVDUAL PILOTS AND THEIR DOGFIGHTS. OVERALL, A SUPERB ADDITION TO ANY WW 2 AVIATION LIBRARY.
