Synopsis
From every known source Roger Freeman has collected a remarkable selection of aviation and wartime scenes showing the US Eighth Air Force at work and play at their English bases. There is more Second World War color aviation photography in this new book than has ever before been seen in one place, making this a must-have book not just for the British and American veterans who were there, but for the later generations of enthusiasts fascinated by every detail, every record they can find of the Mighty Eighth. This lavish book recalls the daring and dangerous exhilaration of those days. Here are photographs of the aircraft and their weaponry taken by their crews as a personal record, using simple cameras and Kodachrome film brought in from the US. They took photographs of everything around them: the base, their buddies, aircraft in action, on the ground, their favorite nose art, airfields and the countryside from the air, all featured here, some 600 evocative, authentic photographs of the period. Arrangement is alphabetical by home base, to provide a rare and remarkable record of military aviation over wartime England.

    Still the best one volume history of the Eighth Airforce!

    I got my first copy of this book in 1972, and I brought it to every event I could find to fill it with the signatures of the men whose stories were told within the book. It occurred to me that the book had become too valuable to take off the shelf very often with the likes of Chuck Yeager, Robert Morgan, and Gabby Gabreski having signed it. I got another copy for reading and reference. Anything by Roger A. Freeman is well worth the price. His knowledge of the men, units, and machines of the Eighth Airforce remains unsurpassed. His interest in the subject began as a boy growing itinerary East Anglia, watching the planes take off on their way to the continent. It was Freeman who coined the phrase, “The Mighty Eighth.”
