Hi every1 :)
Just finished reading the book "Hell Hawks! The Untold Story of the American Fliers who SAVAGED HITLER'S WEHRMACHT (caps are mine)"
by Robert F. Dorr & Thomas D. Jones.
The story is about a band of young American pilots and their gritty, close quarters fight against Hitler's vaunted military, & how feared they were by the Germans. They shredded the Wehrmacht flying at 200-300 feet above ground & also gave a good account of themselves in air combat.
They flew the rugged, heavily armed P-47 Thunderbolt .. affectionately
known as the "Jug". Spell bound reading, well detailed with interviews
of the pilots themselves.
This book may be obtained from your local library .... Enjoy! :banana:
