Mission 376: Battle Over the Reich
Stock #: KB10057
Author: Ivo de Jong

Karen's Price:

Some of the bombing missions of the U.S. 8th Air Force in World War II, such as the Schweinfurt and Berlin, have become legendary for one reason or another. One such mission was Mission 376 on May 28, 1944, when ordinary men on both sides revealed extraordinary courage as they experienced the confusion and terror which accompanied the routine bloodleting. The day had one unusual characteristic, however -- when it saw the first combat use of remote-controlled glide bombs by the USAAF. This book describes in unprecedented detail the events, experience and aircraft of the men on both sides that day during the course of ‘an ordinary mission’. more»
