Wings of Valor - Volume III C Douglas Sterner

Volume III in the Wings of Valor series begins with Operation Torch, the 1942 amphibious assault on North Africa, and follows the development of U. S. Army Air Forces tactics through the stories of 16 American Airmen who received the Medal of Honor. In it you will learn how the history of strategic bombardment evolved to enable the around-the-clock, sustained bombing campaign that earned the Allies the aerial superiority necessary to mounting the June 1944 D-Day landings that brought World War II to a close within a year.
