When World War II began, the United States’ air forces numbered only 45,000 men and a few thousand aircraft—hardly enough to defend the country, let alone defeat the German Luftwaffe, the world’s most formidable air force. Yet by war’s end, the Luftwaffe had been crushed, and the U.S. Army Air Forces had delivered the decisive blows. The Men Who Killed the Luftwaffe tells the story of the striking transformation—one of the marvels of modern warfare—that enabled the U.S. to crush the air forces of the Third Reich, while thrusting readers into whirling, heart-pounding accounts of aerial combat.
