B-17 Flying Fortress Units of the Eighth Air Force (Part 1) (Osprey)

The Boeing B-17 has come to epitomise the American war effort in Europe, the huge four-engined heavy day bomber taking the fight to Germany from the late summer of 1942 through to VE-Day. The primary operator of the Flying Fortress in Western Europe was the 'Mighty Eighth'.
This volume, which is the first of two dealing exclusively with the 'Mighty Eighth', covers the 15 Bomb Groups of the First Air Division, each of which controlled four squadrons. The evolution of the force is traced through first-hand accounts of those individuals that took part in the action.

Contents: Yankee Doodle Goes To War - Spreading the Wealth - 'Black Thursday' and beyond - 'Big Week' and 'Big B - Final Victory - Appendices.

B-17 - Missions de combat : Chasseurs, Flak et Forteresses volantes

"B-17 - Missions de combat" takes the reader inside the cockpits of each crew member of the Flying Fortress, telling the story of those who flew and fought aboard one of the most famous bombers of World War II. Unique airman testimonies are combined with archival photos that bring the stories of these air gladiators to life in vivid detail.

This book includes over 100 testimonies, most of them never before published, from B-17 crew members. Each crew member recounts his experience in turn - the pilot, the co-pilot, the navigator, the radioman, the bombardier, the mechanic-gunner, the tail gunners, the turret gunners... - to give a complete vision of a war mission on a B-17.
A hundred memories, nearly 40 photos taken from military archives and 180 archive photos illustrate this book.
