Atglen [1995], Schiffer, Grey cloth, 343p., many b.w. photos as new copy in dust jacket, index, bibliography, 16 x 23 cm. FIRST & ONLY EDITION The superb true story of just how the 308th Bomb Group put a stop the Japanese air force. The intrigue, military valor and personal hardships found no where else in battle for free China. * Excerpt from the dust jacket: "CHENNAULT'S FORGOTTEN WARRIORS political intrigue, military valor and personal hardships to a degree not found elsewhere. The 308th's wide-ranging activities through nearly three years of bitter air warfare are virtually unknown, despite the fact that it performed some of the most accurate bombing of the U. S. Army Air Forces, and used the first American smart bombs; called the Azon. The 308th also sustained the highest casualty rate in the USAAF, as its missions were long and hard. Many were often conducted at very low level and at night through the very heart of Japanese-occupied territory, and their controlled sea lanes. A study of the records of World War II reveals that every bomber crew had stories to tell that were as interesting as those of any fighter pilot. Renowned aviation historian Colonel C. V. Glines has woven these fascinating personal narratives into a wider story of the air war in China." *. Bestandsnummer des Verkäufers 29005401
