Description:
New book, 211 pages, 179 photos. Castles in the air is a re-issue of one of the classic titles of military literature. It recounts the story of the B-17 Flying Fortress crews of the US 8th Air Force - the men and the planes that provided the main punch in the daylight strategic bombing offensive against Nazi Germany from 1942-45. This revealing book recreates, in the words of surviving air crew members, the tension and terror of their sorties deep into enemy air space. There is a wealth of personal narrative and first hand information.
