| B-24 Liberator Units of the Fifteenth Air Force (Osprey Combat Aircraft 21) | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
|
The B-24 was heavily utilised in the North African and Mediterranean theatres by the USAAF's Fifteenth Air Force, with operations over the Ploesti oilfields in Rumania being some of the most famous missions undertaken by the big American 'heavy' in World War 2. The stirling work of the Fifteenth Air Force is often overshadowed by the glamorous 'Mighty Eighth', yet the men flying the B-24 fought ceaselessly right through to VE Day. This is the third of five titles planned to chart the operational history of the Consolidated heavy bomber, and is the first single volume to exclusively cover the Fifteenth Air Force's B-24 units.

As a WW2 vetereran who served in the Fifteenth Air Force as a member of the ground crew, this book has been a long time coming. As a history book or a book of memories for those who were there, it is a welcome addition to everyone's collection. It's accuracy in every detail, be it text or illustrations, is beyond reproach. It would have been nice to dedicate the book to those comrads of ours who didn't come home. Maybe now, it will be known that the air war in Europe was fought just as valantly from Italy as it was from England.
