The " Mighty Eighth War Diary [Hardcover]

Roger A. Freeman (Author)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 25, 1990

The US 8th Air Force - it did not become known as the "Mighty Eighth" until these books were published and the name stuck - was based in England in the second half of World War II, from where it flew fighter and bomber missions over Europe. In addition to a veteran support back home, the Eighth and its aircraft have been avidly studied in the postwar years. This work chronicles each action which the units flew, the aircraft which took part and the results. Information has been updated for this edition. This volume is the second part of the re-issued "Mighty Eighth" trilogy.

This review is from: The Mighty Eighth War Diary (Hardcover)

Every once in a while an author comes along who establishes themself in their genre as the definitive master.

Roger A Freeman is that man in the mighty eighth. The War diary and his other books on the eighth air force are the best reference anyone could have to research this period of the war.

detailed accounts, eye witness accounts, archive reference, original reports reproduced, period photographs of aircraft, targets etc.

everything you need is here in a large hardback reference.

buy it, cost is not the issue, buy it now
