MIGHTY EIGHTH COMING HOME
by Robert Taylor
A flak damaged B-17 struggles to keep up with the group; B-24 Liberators have joined the formation and a P-51, low on fuel provides escort for the North Sea crossing. The US 8th Air Force, its mission almost completed, is coming home.
Released in 1992, along with THE MIGHTY EIGHTH – OUTWARD BOUND, to commemorate the 50th Anniversary of the American Air Force in Europe, the edition sold out very quickly and has sold on the secondary market for ever increasing sums over the years, becoming increasingly difficult to find.
