Re: Forgotten Fifteenth: The Daring Airmen Who Crippled Hitler's War Machine
Dear Dénes,
Thank you for the description. How is the index for finding targets such as Wasserburg?
I went to Amazon.com to check on Mahoney's book and read the reviews. Larry deZeng says it is based on the Intops summaries, which I have. Apparently a shortcoming of the book is an incomplete index. Thus, what I would seek in either book is a jump off point that would tell me when and where any particular target had been attacked, i.e., meaning it would have to have a good index.
Another reviewer, "Laura", says Mahoney's book is a bit short on telling the story behind each mission, something that perhaps Tillman's book provides. If Mahoney's book is based on the Intops summaries, I can see why this could be the case. Why a mission was flown and what it accomplished are needed parts of the story.
Comments?
Regards,
Richard
