About This Item

Madrid: Delprado Publishers. 2001. Small Quarto Size [approx 17.5cm x 24cm]. Very Good condition. Illustrated with Black and White Photographs and Colour drawings. Robust, professional packaging and tracking provided for all parcels. 62 pages. Amongst the American built fighters to be operated by the USAAF in Europe, the 56th FG joined the Eighth Air Force in Britain to undertake the escort role for the latter's growing B-17 bomber force in late 1942. Initial encounters with German fighters were not encouraging, as the P-47 was easily outmanoeuvred at low to medium altitudes. However, the arrival of the first P-47Cs in mid-1943 addressed the problem of the aircraft range and as combat tactics evolved performance improved and it was soon able to hold its own against the Luftwaffe fighters. . Reprint. Softcover.
