Re: Alfred J. Coppel - Unit identity
There are some minor errors in Order of Battle.,i.e., he mentions flying P-38Gs which probably should have been P-38Hs.
Yes, I quite agree about "Goodbye to Some". I collect Air war Novels and have found some good air war novels over the years. Here are some good ones. You can usually find them on ABE Books, all are old paperbacks and you can (usually) get them cheaply
"Maybe I'm Dead" by Joe Klaas (Grandfather of Polly Klaas) - 31st FG Spitfire pilot POW in Tunisia.
"Face of a Hero" - Louis Falstein - A B24 gunner in the 15th AF. Good narratives and action scenes.
"The Gunner"- William Stevens - A B24 gunner in Italy. Lots of good review in 1965. Well written.
"A Tent on Corsica"-Martin Quigley- A B-26 squadron in Corsica.
"Bomber Crew" Joseph Landon- B24 crewmen 15th AF
"View From he Air"- Hugh Fosburg- Pacific B-24 action 7th AF
Skip Bomber-Lloyd Olson- B-17s in Pacific 1943
