Aggiungi al carrelloPaperback. Condizione: New. Groult, Edouard A. (illustratore). An illustrated study of the little-known history of the failed Allied bombing campaign designed to shatter German defenses on D-Day.D-Day is one of the most written-about events in military history. One aspect of the invasion, however, continues to be ignored: the massive pre-assault bombardment by the Allied Expeditionary Air Force (AEAF), reinforced by RAF Bomber Command and the US Eighth Air Force on June 6 which sought to neutralize the German defenses along the Atlantic Wall. Unfortunately, this failed series of attacks resulted in death or injury to hundreds of soldiers, and killed many French civilians. Despite an initial successful attack performed by the Allied forces, the most crucial phase of the operation, which was the assault from the Eighth Air Force against the defenses along the Calvados coast, was disastrous. The bombers missed almost all of their targets, inflicting little damage to the German defenses, which resulted in a high number of casualties among the Allied infantry. The primary cause of this failure was that planners at Eighth Air Force Headquarters had changed aircraft drop times at the last moment, to prevent casualties amongst the landing forces, without notifying either Eisenhower or Doolittle. This book examines this generally overlooked event in detail, answering several fundamental questions: What was the AEAF supposed to accomplish along the Atlantic Wall on D-Day and why did it not achieve its bombardment objectives? Offering a new perspective on a little-known air campaign, it is packed with illustrations, maps and diagrams exploring in detail the features and ramifications of this mission.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Groult, Edouard A. (illustratore). Paperback. June 6, 1944 is one of the most written-about days in military history. But one part of D-Day has been ignored for most of a century: the massive bombing campaign that was launched against the Atlantic Wall early that morning. Professor Stephen A. Bourque has long studied this crucial aspect of D-Day, and in this important book he explains how air power was meant to knock out German defenses before Allied troops hit the beaches. But on an otherwise successful day, these bombing raids were a disaster. Most of the bombs fell behind their targets, leaving the German defenses intact and ready to wreak havoc among Allied troops, while the rain of stray bombs killed many French civilians. With rare photographs - including reconnaissance photos of the defenses - as well as spectacular new artwork and informative maps and diagrams, this book answers the crucial question of why the Allies' overwhelming air power on D-Day failed in its duty. Book jacket. An illustrated study of the little-known history of the failed Allied bombing campaign designed to shatter German defenses on D-Day.
