A brief, but detailed, summary of the organization, aircraft, tactics and operations of the Eighth Air Force Fighter Command from its creation in 1942 until the end og the War in Europe. Although it does not contain all of the details of missions and aircraft as covered by the Rodger Freeman series, it does provide a strong and unbiased account using not only historical records, but also personal narratives and interviews of the pilots, leaders and support personnel. The selection of photographs and technical data of the various fighter aircraft add to the publication. A detailed bibliography also helps.
