Overview
The technical and production demands of escalating performance and operational capabilities provide a platform on which the campaigns ride.
Includes lesser-known stories of WWII, such as the fighter planes sent to Russia in Arctic convoys, Americans who fought in 'Eagle Squadrons' before the US entered the war, and the tens of thousands of women who worked in Allied aircraft factories.
This book also casts light on the emotional and psychological impact of those caught up in combat.
All in all, a holistic picture of the air war.
