Description
Flying rugged P-47 Thunderbolts nearly at ground level--or Angels Zero--over northwestern Europe, the pilots in the Ninth Air Force provided frontline ground support to infantry and tanks during WWII. Brulle, who flew 70 ground support missions with the 366th Fighter Group, links his daily experiences in the cockpit with events in the wider European theater. Combining anecdotes from his personal diary, research in US and German records, and interviews with participants on both sides, he details his combat career and lesser-known aspects of the air war in Europe. Includes bandw photos from museums and personal collections. The author has published 12 articles on aviation and history. Annotation copyrighted by Book News Inc., Portland, OR
