Excellent Book

I was a crew member on a B-17 bomber during WWII and can appreciate the research that went into writing this book. Most B-17 books write only about the "Mighty Eighth" (The 8th Army Air Force in England) but this book covered it all, including the 15th Army Air Force in Italy, where I was stationed. An excellent book!
