Book Description
"This work analyzes the affect of the thoughts and actions of Carl Spaatz on the U.S. Army Air Forces (AAF) and the Western Alliance in Europe from 1942 to 1945. As the senior AAF officer in Europe, Spaatz helped develop and disseminate AAF doctrine on air-ground close support. He preserved and modified AAF strategic bombardment doctrine. He maintained the AAF's autonomy from the Army Ground Forces and the British Royal Air Force. Finally, he advanced the AAF's desire for equality within the U.S. Military Establishment"--Abstract.

Ayres has gathered a collection of previously untold personal accounts of combat and camaraderie aboard the B-17 Bombers that flew countless sorties against the enemy, as related by the men who lived and fought in the air—and survived.
