Early in the morning on 12 May 1944, Major Günther Rall was awakened by the Division Commander. A large formation of American bombers and fighters was headed towards Germany to bomb six oil refineries in the area. Rall had just taken command of II/JG11 barely a month earlier, when he left III/JG52 on the Eastern Front. Based at Hustedt airfield, located near the town of Celle, just...
On 18 August 1944, Eighth Air Force Command planned a bombing mission against the German Aerodrome at Nancy/Essey, France. There were about 70 aircraft on this airfield, mostly He-111s and Ju-88s, as well as a small number of fighters.

Thursday 14 October would prove the most...

Fighter pilots are, by nature, free spirits. Give them a fast aeroplane to play with and they will. There were never two freer spirits than ‘Bud’ Anderson and ‘Chuck’ Yeager of the 357th Fighter Group.
Both of these P-51 Mustang pilots were always itching to be where the action was and setting off for what was the last mission of their second tour of combat...

In the months that followed Dunkirk, the RAF stood alone against the might of the Luftwaffe and the massed forces of Germany preparing to invade Britain. While America anxiously watched events from afar, some 240 American pilots made their way to England to volunteer to fly for the RAF in the herculean struggle against overwhelming odds. These brave young volunteers even formed their own...
