Zusammenfassung:From Book's Introduction: The bombardment group is the family unit of the air force society. So the story of the 95th is, in a way, the story of the 8th air force. The hopes and fears and humor and tragedy of this group of airmen and paddlefeet mirror the history of the most awesome aerial battle recorded thus far. So the publishers of this book feel forgiven at the start for this prideful display. Through this word and picture account of a "heavy" outfit, the reader may look out into the larger scene of what was the battle for the skies over Europe. He may feel the thrill, and chill, of the fight that gained the skies and shattered the machines of the enemy war artisans in their very back rooms. In telling this story, we bow all about us at our neighbors, the lads on the other fields of the islands. They will read some of their own biography here. Others will get an idea, perhaps as never before, of how high were the stakes, what it took, and why it worked.
