Summary

Fighter pilots have a glamorous image -- but what is the truth behind these myths? In fact, many WWII airmen never saw an enemy plane and those who did had a high casualty rate; success too often depended primarily on position, surprise, and technical advantage. Using a large selection of photographs illustrating men, equipment, and action, a distinguished military writer dispels the inaccuracies fostered by wartime propaganda. Follow the air events of the blitzkrieg, the cross-channel operations of the British, clashes in the Middle East the English/American invasion of northwest Africa, and more.
