WWII fighter pilots share stories of flying into battle from Berlin to Tokyo in Mustangs, Spitfires, Flying Fortresses and more.

In Flying American Combat Aircraft of World War II, U.S. Air Force veterans recount thrilling tales that put readers in the cockpit. These personal remembrances of aerial combat offer vividly detailed depictions of fighting across Europe as well as in the Pacific. 

The twenty-nine contributors also cover a wide range of America’s WWII-era combat aircraft, including the B-25 Mitchell, B-29 Superfortress, P-47 Thunderbolt, P-40 Kittyhawk, B-18 bomber, and many others. Their stories are enhanced by dozens of photographs of the planes and the pilots who flew them.
