Description

Appears unread. No marks or inscriptions. No creasing to covers or to spine. A very clean very tight copy with bright unmarked boards, traces of storage and no bumping to corners. Reprint of a typed document so small parts of the text may be difficult to read. 285pp. This is an account of tactical air operations carried out by the US 8th Air Force from D-Day to the end of the war in Europe. It relates what was done to support the ground operations on D-Day itself, and immediately thereafter. It then follows the campaign inland. It also covers general air operations, supply drops and operations against the V-bomb offensive, Operation Crossbow. Further details include attacks on radar installations, coastal batteries, air-sea rescue and leaflet drops. The appendices are detailed and give a statistical picture of Crossbow operations and anti-German Airfield attacks. Reprint of the USAF Historical Division document of 1952. Very scarce.
