Reviews

"""William Daugherty has described in amazing detail how the United States went from a seedling of bomber aviation resources to the most dominating air force in history. Their slowly growing fleet of bombers fought the most lethal air campaign against an experienced and committed Luftwaffe adversary. Daugherty's book reminds the reader that leadership in such an environment is put to the test every second of the responsibilities of. Airmen were pushed to the extreme and their commanding generals not only had to keep the pressure with flying more sorties over the Third Reich, but also answer to British allies and deal with congressional pressure for positive results and a public wondering what was to come from a newly trained air crew sent overseas."" --Terrence J Finnegan, Colonel, USAF (Retired), author of Shooting the Front: Aerial Reconnaissance Over the Western Front; A Delicate Affair on the Western Front; and Without Aviators, No Tannenberg"
