Eighth Air Force Bomber Stories: Eye-Witness Accounts from American Airmen and British Civilians of the Perils of War

Rating:
Summary: Worth buying just for the high quality unique photos
Review: Eighth air force bomber stories is a collection of 50 B17 and B24 bomber crashes and the stories behind them. Russell Zorn was detailed to record 3 BD air crashes in the war and in 1945 kept some photographs for his personal memories,the rest of his work was destroyed. The majority of the work has been captured on high quality cameras, with excellent detail. The authors have sought out survivors and eyewitnesses to give a remarkable insight into the tragedy of war. A must have for any 8 air force veteran.

Summary: Bomber Stories
Review: This excellent book contains the stories of about 35 8th AAF bombers that crashed in England, and has photographs of most of the wreckage. It makes clear that weather, crew training, and maintenance were every bit as deadly as combat. The text is marred by some typos (e.g., bale out) and some misspellings, but is otherwise OK.
