Description: Established on 22 February 1944 by the redesignation of VIII Bomber Command at RAF Daws Hill in High Wycombe, England, the Eighth Army Air Force (8 AAF) was a United States Army Air Forces combat air force in the European Theater of World War II (1939/41–1945), engaging in operations primarily in the Northern Europe area of responsibility; carrying out strategic bombing of enemy targets in France, the Low Countries, and Germany; and engaging in air-to-air fighter combat against enemy aircraft until the German capitulation in May 1945. It was the largest of the deployed combat Army Air Forces in numbers of personnel, aircraft, and equipment. This book focuses on several missions that the Mighty 8th flew in April 1945 providing loads of details on the Mission, target, bomber strength (number of planes on mission), casualties, results of the mission, etc. This was not intended for distribution outside of the S-3 shops in those particular squadrons, hence the "declassified" stamps through the book. That makes this a fascinating look into how the squadrons conducted business in the skies over Germany in 1945. Well worth the space in your reference collection. This reprinted book is 8 1/2 x 11 staple bound with 189 pages.
