The Mighty Eighth War Manual by Roger A Freeman
Putting into the air the largest striking force ever committed to battle was a highly complex task and remains one of the great achievements of the war. With more than three hundred photographs and dozens of line drawings, this book relates the procedures and the improvisations that lay behind the success of this mighty air force. Over 1,700 aircraft at a time, involving 15,000 men and a vastly sophisticated supply chain, were engaged in a ceaseless war of high altitude daylight precision bombing that did much to secure eventual allied success.
Roger A. Freeman is one of the leading authorities on Second World War US warplanes and the men who flew them.
