SynopsisThe bestselling book responsible for dubbing the U.S. Eighth Air Force "The Mighty" returns in a revised edition. This popular account of WWII aviation depicts the Eighth from its arrival in Britain until it emerged as the largest air unit ever committed to battle. An extensively detailed account covers sorties over Europe, the exploits of B-17s, B-26s, and P-47s, and little-known explanations of the sophisticated supply chain that kept them flying. With more than 700 photos and 150 full color illustrations depicting formations, strategies, and aircraft markings., The bestselling book responsible for dubbing the U.S. Eighth Air Force as "The Mighty" is back again in a revised edition. The most remarkable and most popular account of WWII aviation depicts the 8th from its arrival in Britain in 1942, to its spread across the country to operate from over 40 bases, on the way to becoming the largest air unit ever committed to battle. An extensively detailed and fully researched account covers intensive bomber and fighter sorties over Europe conducted by over 2,000 aircraft involving over 150,000 men. The exploits of B-17s, B-26s, and P-47s are told, along with little-known explanations of the vastly sophisticated supply chain that kept them flying. Over 700 photos of planes on the ground and in battle action depict formations and strategies, while over 150 full-color illustrations display aircraft group markings.
