New York 1983, Abbeville press, first US edition, hard bound in dust jacket, 10 x 10 1/2, Fine/Fine condition, glossy page stock, 216 pages, massively illustrated in color & B&W. .......................................................... Forty years ago, in World War 11, the U. S. Eighth Air Force began a precision daylight bombing offensive against Nazi Germany from airbases in rural England. In support of this mission, nearly 350,000 Americans of widely different backgrounds were temporarily transported to English soil. For many of them this was a period of great danger-even death for some; it was also a time of endless fatigue, comradeship, boredom, and, sometimes, the excitement of radically new experiences and emotions. For most, however, this mission was destined to be the one great adventure of their young lives. .........................................................At a certain point in life, everyone likes to look back, to revive memories of past glories, and some are even moved to return to the actual scene of a singular event, to relive the experience where it happened. Today, however, few traces remain of the numerous heavy bomber bases built then to serve the Eighth Air Force in England. Farms that were paved into runways and hardstands have returned to their primordial uses, and the old military buildings have been demolished or adapted to new roles. .....................................................Nevertheless, in this compelling book one is truly taken back to wartime England-through a rare combination of the frank recollections of men who still vividly remember what it was like to be there (from flying through flak over the target to slogging through perpetual mud at the base), as well as vintage photos from their scrapbooks and other private collections, and a wide-ranging selection from the U. S. A. F. archives of both pictures and memorabilia-to richly illustrate the American experience in World War II England as it was lived. In addition to the historic photographs, the book features more than 100 color illustrations shot in recent years that show several of the Eighth Air Force bases as they are now, for the benefit of those who want to take one last look.
