Includes bibliographical references.
Half a century on, this collection of memorabilia - most of it never before published - recalls the life and times of the US 8th Air Force, based in Eastern England during World War II to provide the daylight strike arm of the Allied round-the-clock bombing offensive over Germany and occupied Europe. It features a wealth of eye-witness anecdotes, contemporary poems, letters, diary extracts, stories, photographs, cartoons and advertisements. The book draws on the recollections of the servicemen who flew and maintained the B-17 and B-24 bombers, as well as the memories of civilians - many of them children at the time - whose lives were changed for ever by the presence of the Americans.
