Description: Brand new 288 page Hardcover Book With Wings As Eagles : The Eighth Air Force in World War II by Philip Kaplan. This book is a reminder of more inspiring times, of honest leadership, and genuine friendships.... Evocatively written and splendidly presented with an abundance of photographs of eager young faces of American comrades and their flying machines who led purposeful lives straight out of school and made friends with the British in England. Flying was in their blood, and their previous lives vanished once they experienced combat in the air. Kaplan's work captures a unique moment in our combined history. The 8th Air Force in World War II started from scratch, learned from experience, and paid a bitter price for its contribution to Nazi Germany's destruction. But the B-17s and B-24s never turned back from a mission. Kaplan combines evocative and unfamiliar photos with a fast-paced, readable text in this comprehensive overview that introduces and surveys the mighty 8ths strategic doctrine, operational career, and internal dynamics.
