Aggiungi al carrelloHardback. Condizione: Very Good. None. VERY GOOD+ No dust jacket as issued. No marks in text. Binding is tight and square. . . . . . . . . . A detailed unit history of the 457th Bomb Group (H), a B-17 Flying Fortress group in the Eighth Air Force that flew strategic bombing missions over Europe in the Second World War. Compiled…by Homer Briggs and James L. Bass and edited by John F. Welch, the book traces the group from its activation and training in 1943 through its deployment to England, covering major operations such as Big Week, pre-invasion strikes for Normandy, D-Day missions against coastal defenses, and subsequent support for campaigns including the Battle of the Bulge and the Rhine crossings. Drawing heavily on official records and veterans? recollections, the narrative emphasizes the group's identity as the *Fireball Outfit* and documents its 7,000 plus sorties, losses, and evolving tactics as part of the broader Allied air offensive. The volume presents an organized chronological account rather than a mere anecdotal scrapbook, making it a foundational reference for researchers, families, and enthusiasts interested in the operational history, missions, and personnel of this specific heavy bombardment group.
