Focuses on all forty-eight 8th AF bomb groups and features color illustrations depicting the evolution of all fuselage, wing and tail markings assigned to the individual units.
Relying heavily upon visuals, Battle Colors fills a long standing void in the annals of the Eighth Air Force during WW II.
Details concerning the proper size, placement, color and configuration of all tactical markings of US Bomber Command are addressed. Group and squadron combat insignia as well as airfield location maps for each unit are also depicted.
All bombardment units incorporated within the Eighth are indexed and easily cross-referenced by squadron, group, wing and division assignments.
Additionally, all major components comprising the Eighth have been organized into quick reference organizational flow charts that show the actual order-of-battle for the “Mighty Eighth.”
This book is an invaluable tool for anyone with an interest in the history of the US 8th Air Force in WWII.
