Published by Jane's Publishing Company. 1985. Very good condition in a very good dustwrapper.

Large format. B/w photos. In terms of men and machines, the United States Eighth Air Force was the largest air striking force ever committed to battle.

And such efforts were often repeated for several days in succession. This book tells how and with what it was done. ISBN: 0710603258. Second impression.
