Last fighter group deployed by the USAAF to Eighth Air Force in Europe, the 479th FG was the leading unit in aerial and ground-strafing victories in August-September 1944. It won a Presidential Distinguished Unit Citation as a result of this success and this book is a dramatic insight into their extraordinary and heroic war service.

John Stanaway has written two best-selling volumes in the Aces series both covering the exploits of the greatest Pacific fighter of them all, the P-38 Lightning. He is also an official historian of the National P-38 Pilots' Association. Based in Mansfield, Nottinghamshire, Chris Davey has illustrated more than 20 titles for Osprey's Aircraft of the Aces, Combat Aircraft and Aviation Elite Units series since 1994. He is one of the last traditional airbrush artists in the business and has become Osprey's artist of choice for both USAAF fighters and RAF subject matter, proving his undoubted skill when dealing with large aircraft subjects such as the Halifax and Sunderland.
