Octavo, green cloth (hardcover), gilt letters and decorations to upper cover, ix, 841 pp. Fine in a Very Good dust jacket with light wear to edges. From dust jacket: This collection of squadron histories covers all the Air Force combat squadrons which were active in World War II, including both those which served overseas and those that remained in the United States. It complements the book Air Force Combat Units of World War II which covers units larger than squadron size, that is, wings and groups. Each squadron is traced from its beginning through 5 March 1963, the fiftieth anniversary of the organization of the 1st Aero (later Bombardment) Squadron, the first Army unit to be equipped with aircraft for tactical operations. For each squadron there is a statement of the official lineage and data on the unit's assignments, stations, aircraft, operations, service streamers, campaign participation, decorations, and emblem. As such, this book provides a ready reference to answer such questions as: what was the insignia of a particular fighter squadron; who was the commanding officer of a particular bombing squadron on a specific date; what type plane did a particular squadron fly, and so on. Here is combined in one volume all the important historical facts about each World War II Air Force Squadron. It is an indispensable reference work for anyone interested in World War II, aviation history or making model airplanes.

Hardcover. Condición: Very good. Estado de la sobrecubierta: Good. cii, [5], 123, [15] pages, plus photo inserts. Illustrations. Introduction and Notes by Michael O'Connor. Foreword by General Douglas MacArthur. Appendix I. Appendix II. Notes. The story of America's Greatest Fighter Ace of WWII. George Churchill Kenney (6 August 1889 ? 9 August 1977) was a United States Army general during World War II. He is best known as the commander of the Allied Air Forces in the Southwest Pacific Area (SWPA), a position he held between August 1942 and 1945. In early 1940, Kenney became Assistant Military Attach? for Air in France. As a result of his observations of German and Allied air operations during the early stages of World War II, he recommended significant changes to Air Corps equipment and tactics. In July 1942, he assumed command of the Allied Air Forces and Fifth Air Force in General Douglas MacArthur's Southwest Pacific Area. Under Kenney's command, the Allied Air Forces developed innovative command structures, weapons, and tactics that reflected Kenney's orientation towards attack aviation. The new weapons and tactics won perhaps his greatest victory, the Battle of the Bismarck Sea, in 1943. In April 1946, Kenney became the first commander of the newly formed Strategic Air Command (SAC). He was inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame in Dayton, Ohio, in 1971. Kenney wrote three books about the SWPA air campaigns he led during World War II. His major work was General Kenney Reports, a personal history of the air war he led from 1942 to 1945. He also wrote The Saga of Pappy Gunn and Dick Bong: Ace of Aces. Richard Ira "Dick" Bong (September 24, 1920 ? August 6, 1945) was a United States Army Air Forces officer and Medal of Honor recipient in World War II. He was one of the most decorated American fighter pilots and the country's top flying ace in the war, credited with shooting down 40 Japanese aircraft, all with the Lockheed P-38 Lightning. He died in California while testing a Lockheed P-80 jet fighter shortly before the war ended. Bong was posthumously inducted into the National Aviation Hall of Fame in 1986 and has several commemorative monuments named in his honor around the world, including an airport, two bridges, a theater, a veterans historical center, a recreation area, a neighborhood terrace, and several avenues and streets, including the street leading to the National Museum of the United States Air Force in Dayton, Ohio. On December 27, Bong claimed his initial aerial victory, shooting down a Mitsubishi A6M "Zero", and a Nakajima Ki-43 "Oscar" over Buna (during the Battle of Buna-Gona). For this action, Bong was awarded the Silver Star. On July 26, Bong claimed four Japanese fighters over Lae, in an action that earned him the Distinguished Service Cross. In August, he was promoted to captain. On April 12, Captain Bong shot down his 26th and 27th Japanese aircraft, surpassing Eddie Rickenbacker's American record of 26 credited victories in World War I. Bong continued flying from Tacloban, Leyte, during the Philippines campaign; by December 17, he had increased his air-to-air victory claims to 40. Bong considered his gunnery accuracy to be poor, so he compensated by getting as close to his targets as possible to make sure he hit them. In some cases he flew through the debris of exploding enemy aircraft, and on one occasion collided with his target, which he claimed as a "probable" victory. On the recommendation of General Kenney, the Far East Air Force commander, Bong received the Medal of Honor from General Douglas MacArthur in a special ceremony in December 1944. Bong's Medal of Honor citation says that he flew combat missions despite his status as an instructor, which was one of his duties as standardization officer for V Fighter Command. His rank of major qualified him for a squadron command, but he always flew as a flight (four-plane) or element (two-plane) leader.
