About This Item
This is volume 1: Prewar to October 1943, The B-17 Era. This book is the 4th, in a series from this publisher called Eagles over the Pacific. The 3 previous volumes dealt with the 345th Bomb Group, the 22nd Bomb Group and the 312th Bomb Group. The 43rd started out on the Queen Mary in February, 1942, landed in Australia, absorbed the bedraggled 19th with their tired B-17's and changed the way the fighting was conducted. The result was a double Medal of Honor and 8 Distinguished Service Crosses. The book is in fine, like new condition, with only very minor shelf wear. Author Hickey's resume is too long to mention. His Public service, military experience and writing are exhaustive. Four other writers contributed: Steve Birdsall, Madison Jonas, Edward Rogers and Osamu Tagaya. Illustrations are by Jack Fellows, again with the exhaustive resume as an aircraft illustrator. The last few pages are dedicated to a preview of volume 2 of the same bomber group. The author has inscribed and signed on the inside front cover "Best Wishes, Lawrence Hickey"
