USAAF Fighter Stories

Hardcover - 196 pages - Ian McLachlan presents a compelling collection of true-life accounts by USAAF fighter pilots flying from England during the Second World War. Some are the result of detailed post-war research by the author into aircraft crash sites; others are the memories of those who were lucky enough to survive the war; some are stories gleaned from the letters written home to loved ones by pilots who were destined not to survive the war. Each story is supported by a unique selection of personal and combat photographs. Vivid first-person accounts by 18 USAAF fighter pilots from the Second World War. Illustrated with many rare photographs. Respected author who is an expert on the wartime history of the USAAF. In 2012 it will be the 70th anniversary of the arrival of US forces in Britain in the Second World War.
