THE FIRST TITLE IN THE ELITE UNITS SERIES TO DEAL WITH AN AMERICAN
BOMBARDMENT GROUP, THIS TITLE FOCUSES ON THE 303RD BG, DUBBED THE
'HELLS ANGELS.'
One of the very first B-17 units assigned to the newly created Eighth
Air Force in England in September 1942, the 303rd was in the vanguard
of the daylight bombing campaign through to VE-Day. Awarded a
Distinguished Unit Citation in January 1944, the 303rd also had two of
its aircrewmen presented with the Medal of Honor, Americas ultimate
military decoration.
Brian O Neill brings the group's colourful combat history to life with
a mix of first-hand accounts, raw statistics and concise mission
narrative.
