Re: Why is the 15th AAF neglected by aviation historians?
I agree that a 15th AF counterpart for Freeman has not stepped forward on this, but I think another reason is this.
Simply, the USAAF airwar (and ground war) axis was primary England to Germany and the center of gravity for USAAF was 8AF for the major battles for air supremacy.
Reflecting back on history, even from the focus of correspondents, politicians and celebs - it started in London and radiated outwards. This focus enabled far more information and photos of various groups than just the local command PRO's
Even the 9th AF is not getting the publicity and attention it deserves and simply, like the 15th (and 12th before it) doesn't have the volumes of details published or captured from a visual standpoint - which for most historians/book writers is essential.
Just my opinion
Regards,
Bill
