Beware the Thunderbolt! the 56th Fighter Group in Wwii (Hardcover)

With names like Zemke, Schilling, Gabreski, Mahurin and Johnson,
the 56th Fighter Group was, and still is, one of the legendary
fighter units of World War II.\nBEWARE THE THUNDERBOLT ( the apt
official motto of the 56th) is the story of the 56th Fighter Group
in a chronological narrative of their combat missions. Composed of
heroic pilots that aggressively took the air war into the enemy
heartland in 1943, the "Wolfpack\s" P-47 Thunderbolt contrails
crossed high in the upper stratosphere as they escorted heavy
bomber missions, or fell upon the enemy on the ground as their
pilots destroyed over 1000 Luftwaffe aircraft.\nThe story is also
coupled with their post-war history of innovative Mustang missions
to Alaska, and the first trans-Atlantic jet fighter missions in the
P-80 Shooting Star.\nThe foreword is by Hub Zemke, former commander
of the 56th Fighter Group. \nDavid McLaren is also the author of
Lockheed F-94 Starfire (with Marty Isham), available from Schiffer
Publishing.
