Publisher Description
[ILLUSTRATION OMITTED] The air war over Europe saw an unprecedented number of casualties, primarily attributed to the emergence of new technology in both aviation and anti-air capabilities. Many attacks by the U.S. Army Air Corps used the massive B-17 and B-24 bombers, which each carried up to ten crewmembers.
