Description

An illustrated series examining the history of the fighter pilots, units, and aircraft that formed the US Eighth Air Force's VIII Fighter Command and Ninth Air Force fighter units in Europe.

 

Of the primary fighter types used by the USA in the European Theatre of Operations during the Second World War, the P-51 Mustang became the principal escort for heavy bombers. By the end of hostilities, there were over 1,700 Mustangs in service, the majority with the 14 fighter groups of the Eighth Air Force, which this book primarily concerns. The book focuses on the decoration of these units' Mustangs. 

 

Roger Freeman provides not only a valuable reference source for artists and modellers but also aids in the identification of aircraft in photographs. Most of the photographs reproduced in this study have been selected to show particular markings in detail. In the case of the P-51 Mustang, the variety of schemes is considerable. The book also includes a selection of combat reports from leading Mustang pilots.

À PROPOS DE CET AUTEUR
Roger Freeman

Roger A. Freeman ( May 11th, 1928 - October 7th, 2005 ) grew up on the family farm in Dedham ( Essex, England ). 


In 1943, Martin B - 26 Marauder bombers of the U.S. Eighth Air Force’s 386th Bomb Group arrived at Boxted airfield - less than two miles away - sparking Freeman’s lifelong fascination with the wartime U.S.A.A.F. operating from Britain. 


After the war, Roger A. Freeman began to impart his knowledge about the wartime U.S.A.A.F. with articles for aviation magazines and started to collate material for his planned book. The book, entitled The Mighty Eighth, was an instant success and has been translated into several languages. 


His overall output of some 60 books also included works about the wartime Royal Air Force, individual aircraft studies, airfield histories and profiles of U.S.A.A.F. units.
