Aces and Pilots of the US 8th/9th Air Forces by Jerry Scutts.
When the US Air Force joined the allied bomber offensive against Germany from August 1942, their Flying Fortress and Liberator bombers, flying by day, took a terrible punishment at the hands of the Luftwaffe. It rapidly became clear that the USAAFs reliance on the bombers own defences was not enough. A US fighter capacity would have to be developed - and fast. This book tells the story of what followed. By 1943 the P-51 Mustang long-range fighter had arrived, which, along with the P-38 Lightning and P-47 Thunderbolt fighter-bombers, turned the tide of the air war in favour of the allies. This illustrated history tells the full story of these aircraft, and their part in such historic operations as D-day and the 1944/45 battle of the Bulge. The text is supported by an appendix listing the top 100 American air aces, participating air units and their squadron codes.
