Over dit product

Product Information

The book follows the 381st Bomb Group from its formation in the Texas desert to its wartime base of RAF Ridgewell on the Essex-Suffolk border, through to its 297th and final bombing mission deep into the heart of Hitler's Third Reich. It is the remarkable story of young Americans and the part they played in the strategic bombing campaign of "The Mighty Eighth."

Reviews
The authors' passion for their subject is obvious in the detailed research and meticulous organization of the book. Extensive use of veteran recollec­tions bring life to the narrative. This book is a fitting tribute to the veterans of the 381st., The authors do a good job using the diaries, interviews, and books written by group members to convey a vivid--sometimes too vivid--picture of war at its most elemental. The human element is portrayed using the actual words of those who participated. Particularly poignant are the stories of rude awakenings of fresh arrivals to the cost of war on their first few missions., In an extraordinary achievement of marrying historical research with a smooth writing style, Bomb Group works as an introduction to the Eighth Air Force as well as required reading for the well-versed in the subject. Authors Paul Bingley and Mike Peters have produced a detailed account of the 381st BG, and at the same time overlaid the larger historical context of the United States' first air force with an offensive mission--an offensive mission unproven in its day. Richly researched and full of personal stories recalling training, the horrors and otherworldly nature of aerial warfare, sweating out missions on the ground and the sense of duty, Bomb Group is a valuable addition to the body of work on Eighth Air Force history. Be forewarned, after reading this book your debt of gratitude to these teenagers and young men of the 381st and the whole of the Eighth Air Force will grow exponentially., It had me immersed ankle deep and slipping on empty .50 Cal shell casings, freezing, at 25,000 feet above occupied Europe, and thankful that many men actually did it while I only read about it, just as you should., It is a fitting tribute to all of those who served in the 381st Bomb Group but also all of the personnel who served in the Eighth Air Force bomb groups., Bingley and Peters offer a wonderful accounting of how the 381st contributed to the strategic bombing campaign of the Mighty Eighth.
