About this title

Synopsis

Starting with the P-38 Lightning and eventually converting to the P-51 Mustang, the 55th not only achieved distinguished status as escort bombers and low-level tactical operations, they were also champion 8th Air Force locomotive busters. This is the definitive record of the 55th FG in the WWII aerial struggle over Europe, told largely by its veterans, and with insights from former Luftwaffe pilots.
