Re: "The Men Who Killed the Luftwaffe"
I would like to plant a question here since this thread seems to include the 8th AAF. I'm looking for a book that summarized all of the VIII Fighter Command missions for each day it operated and includes details covering strafing attacks on Luftwaffe-occupied airfields. At a minimum, the details must give the date, name of the airfield, the number and type of German aircraft shot up and destroyed or damaged on the ground.
Believe it or not, after a half-day of searching on the net I cannot come up with a book that gives this information. There IS one for the tactical air forces ( American Fighter-Bombers in World War II, Schiffer, 2003), but not for the VIII Fighter Command that sent its P-47 and P-51 escorts down to the deck to beat up the German airfields during the great day missions over the Reich.
Can anyone help?
