There's so much to be said in praise of such a definitive work on one of the deadliest task's of defeating Hitler and his war machine, one bomb at a time, by the 100th BG, and it's part of the 8th AF during WW2.
This book is a must read, especially if this is your interest.
What an insight.
Par excellence.
