Author: Chris Bucholtz Illustrator: Chris Davey About this book Formed around a nucleus of pilots already seasoned by their experience as volunteers in the RAF’s Eagle Squadrons, the 4th Fighter Group was established in England in October 1942. Initially flying Spitfires, the Debden Eagles went on to fly the P-47 & P-51, becoming, in July 1943, the first Eighth Air Force fighter group to penetrate German air space. The group’s record of 583 air & 469 ground victories was unmatched in the Eighth Air Force, & the group produced a cast of characters that included legendary aces Don Blakeslee, Pierce Mc Kennon, “ Kid” Hofer, Duane Beeson, Steve Pisanos & Howard Hively. Involved in the D-Day landings, Operation Market Garden, the Battle of the Bulge & the crossing of the Rhine, the group’s achievements came at a high price, with a 42 percent casualty rate. Packed with first-hand accounts, detailed aircraft profiles & full combat histories, this book is an intriguing insight into the best-known American fighter unit in World War II.
