Synopsis
In 1943, the Eighth Air Force's top priority was to destroy the Luftwaffe and its factories, and their B-17s were specialist weapons for long-range daylight precision bombing. The Eighth hoped that they could survive over Germany unescorted, relying instead on their heavy firepower and tight formations. But as the 1943 Combined Bomber Offensive ramped up, two notorious raids forced the Americans to think again. Targeting the factories of Schweinfurt and Regensburg with a huge and innovative double-strike, flying well beyond the range of P-47 escorts, the Americans lost 60 bombers and hundreds of men, temporarily crippling VIII Bomber Command. Two months later, the belated follow-up raid on Schweinfurt only repeated the carnage. Packed with rare photos and spectacular artwork, this book explains how the Eighth Air Force began its campaign, how the Luftwaffe perfected their tactics against the B-17s, and how the debacles of August and October forced the USAAF to adopt what would become the finest fighter of the war - the P-51 Mustang. Book jacket., This is a new history of the US Army Air Force's pioneering but costly raids on Germany's Messerschmitt and ball-bearing factories in World War II., This is a new history of the US Army Air Force's pioneering but costly raids on Germany's Messerschmitt and ball-bearing factories in World War II. In 1943, the USAAF and RAF launched the Combined Bomber Offensive, designed to systematically destroy the industries that the German war machine relied on. At the top of the hit list were aircraft factories and plants making ball-bearings--a component thought to be a critical vulnerability. Schweinfurt in southern Germany was home to much of the ball-bearing industry and, together with the Messerschmitt factory in Regensburg, which built Bf 109 fighters, it was targeted in a huge and innovative strike. Precision required that the targets were hit in daylight, but the raid was beyond the range of any existing escort fighter, so the B-17s would go in unprotected. The solution was to hit the two targets in a coordinated "double-strike," with the Regensburg strike hitting first, drawing off the defending Luftwaffe fighters, and leaving the way clear for the Schweinfurt bombers. The Regensburg force would carry on over the Alps to North Africa, the first example of US "shuttle bombing." Although the attack on Regensburg was successful, the damage to Schweinfurt only temporarily stalled production, and the Eighth Air Force had suffered heavy losses. It would take a sustained campaign, not just a single raid, to cripple the Schweinfurt works. However, when a follow-up raid was finally launched two months later, the losses sustained were even greater. This title explains how the USAAF launched its daylight bombing campaign in 1943, the technology and tactics available for the Schweinfurt-Regensburg missions, and how these costly failures forced a change of tack.

    Great seller. Super fast shipping - 2 days from their location to Calgary. Items are in even better condition than described. Seller included a free vintage magazine - thank you. Excellent to do business with and I will be returning. Packaging was solid - items were better than described (e.g. Paths of Glory was noted as slightly damaged but looked new with an open box.). Seller is exceedingly honest in description. Best grognard seller I've dealt with and I'll be back.
