On the Highways of the Skies: The 8th Air Force in World War II
Anyone seen this book by Martin Bowman/Schiffer?

Re: On the Highways of the Skies: The 8th Air Force in World War II
Hi JJ,
FWIW I was browsing it in the Aviation Bookshop a few days ago - what can I say? Large 'coffee-table' tome, lots of pictures, lots of text. Very expensive. Didn't grab me at all....unlike the new Histoire et Collections title from Gregory Pons devoted to the 9th AF; usual H&C format/page layout, not quite as large or as expensive as the Schiffer book but full of superbly reproduced pictures & fabulous colour

What was the text like (personal accounts, standard narrative etc)? That H&C book looks interesting, though the advertizing text makes my stomach turn, so propagandist it is.
