It covers all the Western and Mediterranean theatres of war, concentrating on how and where Allied fighters were deployed. All major fighter types are represented in the photographs, including Spitfires, Hurricanes, Gladiators, Tempests and Typhoons, Mustangs, P-38s, P-47s, P-51s, Whirlwinds and Meteors, as well as Beaufighters and Mosquitoes. The activities of these very varied fighter types included escorting daylight bombing raids, fighter-bomber intruder operations into occupied Europe, and ground-attack activities in support of land forces in North Africa, Sicily, Italy and in North-Western Europe from the Normandy Campaign onwards. Flying fighters during World War II may have seemed glamorous, but it was also appallingly dangerous. More than 22,000 British and American fighter aircraft were lost during the conflict and over 9000 pilots died. Roger A. Freeman's book is as much about the men who flew in battle as it is about the aircraft, their performance, armament and overall effectiveness. More than 270 photographs provide a panorama of the war in the air above Western Europe and North Africa."; 8.5 X 0.5 X 11 inches; 160 pages .

About Dr. Bookman - All Books Tightly Packaged in Cardboard
We have an eclectic array of used and out of print books for you in our inventory. Service is key to our relationship with you. You get \"Old School\" service with Dr. Bookman. We can\'t look at each other in the eye, shake each others hand, or walk into the shop the next day if we\'re disatisfied. I understand that vulnerability. You are purchasing a product sight unseen. That means I must be honest with you about exactly what you are buying. You might find my descriptions more detailed than most others, but when purchasing online, I want you to know exactly what you\'re buying. I don\'t want you to feel surprised when you open the box. And by the way, almost all of our books are shipped in cardboard packaging designed just for books. That means you get it the way it left here.
