The mighty Eighth: units, men and machines: A history of the U.S. 8th Army Air Force

Macdonald & Co, 1970

Detailed, Meticulously Researched, Encyclopedic
This is the book to get if you want to really know the activities of the Eighth Air Force during World War II. It covers the Mighty Eighth from its inception all the way through the war. Arranged pretty much chronologically, the book is not a quick read by any means. The tiny print and comprehensive detail would make slow going for someone just trying to get a general overview of the Eighth ...

Great resource !
"The Mighty Eighth: War Paint and Heraldry" is a great source of information on the aircraft of the USAAF.

Freeman's book is a great companion to any history or novel about ...

Mustang at war

I. Allan, 1974

Mustang at War - a photographic tribute
Bought my copy in 1978, using my dad's money, it's still worth every cent of it. Must have at least 20 books about the P-51 by now, but as photobook alone this one still stands out. The 160 pages have not the usual black-and-white pics, but some in color as well. But this books has other strenghts as well. The text is very informative and covers not only the WW2 history of this all-time American ...
