Praise for this book

This may be the finest book yet written about the air war over Europe during World War II."

--Air & Space Smithsonian

"Stout's crisp, concise writing powers a narrative that highlights a collection of aviators who destroyed more than 700 German aircraft. The book is certain to take its place with other memorable accounts of European combat."

--John F. Wukovits, author of Black Sheep
