GAME by Nicolas Trudgian
For
bomber crews, any daylight bombing mission almost certainly
meant combat. If it wasn't the attentions of the determined
Luftwaffe fighter pilots, it would be an aerial carpet of
flak that welcomed them en route to target- and again, on
the journey home. On most missions the Eighth Air Force aircrews
had to contend with both. Playing a major role in the great
raids on Germany and other targets in occuoied Europe from
early in 1944, equipped with the Consolidated B-24 Liberator,
the USAAF Second Air Division flew no fewer than 95,048 sorties.
Based in Norfolk, England, the crews also attacked targets
far distant in Norway, Poland and Rumania. Published in support
of the Memorial Trust of the Second Air Division in Norwich
England, Nicolas Trudgian's new Limited Edition recreates
a scene showing B-24s of the 467th Bomb Group under attack
by Me262 jet interceptors on February 25th, 1945.
