About this title

From the Publisher:

"Winged Victory is, without question, the most comprehensive and most thorough single-volume history of the USAAF in World War II. The range of topics treated and sources mastered is breathtaking. Everything is included: the men, the planes, strategy, tactics, successes, and failures. I have no doubt but that this will be immediately accepted as the standard one-volume account of a stirring and tragic era in the history of air power."--David MacIsaac, author of Strategic Bombing in World War II
