The Sky Scorpions: The Story of the 389th Bomb Group in World War II

brilliant

Sky scorpion is a good book on this unit; it covers the beginning of the unit and its deployment into the theater of Europe during WW2. Many maps and pictures are a plus to this book many war time mission are covered and the redeployment home and the units deactivation is covered. One interesting part of the book is the action against the Romanian oil fields this unit flew against during WW2. This book also covers the withdraw of the unit back to America and even when this is being accomplished casualties are still occurring. Great book

Book was given to my 90 year old Uncle who served with the Sky Scorpions during WWII. He was a POW in Germany during the last 9 mo. of the war and was most happy to find his name listed in the book. He read it cover to cover in three days..... I learned of the book while visiting the 8th Air Force Museum in Savannah .

Good addition to my subject matter library.

I was so glad I found this book and could give it to my Uncle who flew in the 389th BG. This was a very comprehensive book with many pictures and personal accounts. It even happen to have a picture of his plane. Couldn't have been a better gift.

I have not finished the book, but so far it has met my expectations. It will be one of the books you will love to read more than once.Thank You.
