Re: "Fighters Defending the Ardennes" by Peter Celis
I received my copy of this book yesterday and I am very pleased I bought it!! Peter Celis is Belgian and I believe he is or was a F-16 pilot. He published a book a few years ago "Runways to Victory" which was about the various airfields in Belgium used by the Allies and was an excellent production.
This new book is loaded with nicely reproduced images illustrating the various Allied types that were involved in air operations over the Ardennes. There are a lot of photos that are new to me. The coverage of 9th Air Force units especially the recce units is very welcome a lot of new stuff that I have not seen: P-38s with forward looking cameras under the wings; A-26s with additional gun pods; lots of P-51s including TacR P-51As; P-47s; P-61s; Spitfire XIVs, Typhoons etc
As Ed West would say "enjoy"
