Masters of the Air: America's Bomber Boys Who Fought the Air War Against Nazi Germany

Highly recommended

Magnifique travail de l'auteur qui éclaire ce que ces hommes ont vécu, très humain et en même temps historique. je m'occupe de l'adoption des tombes des soldats américains au cimetière US d'Epinal-Dinoze où beaucoup d'équipages de B17 et B24 sont enterrés entre autres. UN MUST à lire pour tous les amoureux ou et historiens des" big birds". Dommage que ce livre ne soit pas traduit en français pour ceux qui ne peuvent pas lire en anglais. une fois pris dans les mains, on ne peut plus le reposer avant la complète lecture, BRAVO.

This is the most amazing book for anyone interested in the American Air Forces involved in WW2 in europe.Donald Miller's comprehansive knowledge of the subject, and excellent way of describing the air war against Germany is awesome - I couldn't put the book down!

Masters of the Air is an extremely detailed account of what the Army Air Corp went through, did and accomplished in WWII. It’s Band of Brothers like but about the air corp. Provides a very detailed and informative account of what the brave aviators went through to insure Germany was defeated. I’ve read a number of WWII books and articles about various aspects of what really went on. None of them tops Masters of the Air. I have not read nor seen anything that provides such a complete account of what actually happened to defeat the Third Reich.

I have read almost every book written about the air war over Europe, and I can say that this book is a "must".You will find in it a detailed study of almost every relevant point about the conditions in which some young men put their lives at the stake -and many of them lost it- to freed Europe. From doctrine till major operations, and all without forgetting that little stories about singular people, just like you and me, that makes you understand how so many youngsters turn into old in just the 2-4 months time of their tour of duty.Don't miss it!
