Lost in the air combat and air ace fanfare of World War II was the
dangerous, unheralded and vital role played by USAAF fighter-bomber
pilots over the Mediterranean and northwest Europe. Four times as
many pilots were lost during strafing and ground attack sorties
than were lost against the Luftwaffe in aerial combat. This
extensive book is the first in-depth examination of American
air-to-ground attack and explores numerous aspects of the subject.
The three priorities of the fighter-bomber - air superiority,
interdiction and close air support along with combat reports and
pilot narratives - are put into the context of the various ground
operations. The fighter-bomber pilot risked his life every day
against the thickest flak in the war to deprive the enemy of vital
reinforcements and supplies, altering his strategy and movement.
