As for the innocent, everyone needs to know they are innocent –
As for the guilty… they can suck it.

Ty Stampf found an older hardcover on Amazon for with good jacket for under $10.00. If you have not read it try "Masters of the Sky's, by Donald Miller, it is the most well documented work on the 8th Airforce I have ever read.
