Editorial Reviews

Product Description:
Although best remembered for its exploits with Eighth Air Force units, the Mustang, in its various marks, actually made its combat debut firstly with the RAF in the Army co-operation role, and then with the USAAF’s tactically-optimised Ninth and Fifteenth Air Forces. Seeing action in Western Europe and the Mediterranean, pilots like Glenn T Eagleston, John J Voll and Samuel J Brown notched up impressive scores flying P-51Bs and Ds with the 354th, 31st and 52nd Fighter Groups. Rarely given the exposure enjoyed by their high-scoring brethren in the ‘Mighty Eighth’, this volume at last sets the record straight on Europe’s remaining Mustang aces.

Customer Reviews

No list of aces by Hercule Poirot
Many if not all of the of Osprey Aircraft Aces books have a list of aces at the end of the book. Sadly, this book does not have one. You have to write down the names of the people who made aces in the 9th & 15th Air Force plus the RAF which probably explains why the book is only 100 pages and there are two chapters that are devoted to two fighter groups.
