I actually have them in stock, as too many times in the past there have been the so called check's in the mail issues with problems from release
dates to shipping and so on. Many of the new titles you see around I will carry
and when I do have the book in stock they will be posted immediately.

THE 44TH BOMB GROUP IN WWII THE FLYING EIGHT-BALLS OVER EUROPE IN THE B-24'S
Book Type: C, O By Ron Mackay. The pioneer unit for what evolved from the "Mighty Eighth's" 2nd Bomb Wing into a full-scale bomb Division amassed an impressive 343 missions and won two Distinguished Unit Citations between November 1942 and April 1945, dropping nearly 19,000 tons of ordnance in the process including the legendary August 1942 Ploesti mission. These statistics were achieved at a material cost of around 200 aircraft, and a human cost of some 2,000 airmen MIA, as the 8th USAAF focused its strategic bombing campaign in the face of determined Luftwaffe opposition. Large oversize book includes over 340 b/w photographs and color aircraft profiles. 288 pp.
