Book Reviews of WOLFPACK WARRIORS: The Story of World War II's Most Successful Fighter Outfit
Book Review: The 8th Air Force's top group
Summary: 4 Stars
When it comes to books on the Eighth Air Force in World War II, Roger Freeman is definitely one of the best authorities. Starting with the group's activation and going through the end of World War II, the book gives a good history of operations and combat. There's also a fair amount of insight into some of the group's aces and colorful personalities like Zemke, Gabreski, Schilling and Johnson, along with lots of stories from other pilots and groundcrew. The combat descriptions are not as detailed as I would have liked, and given the amount of aerial combat the group engaged in there was certainly plenty of information to choose from. There are personal memoirs available from Zemke, Gabreski and Johnson and this book makes a fine supplement to any or all of them. Also, if you're a fan of the P-47 Thunderbolt, this book will give you further appreciation of the rugged plane affectionately known as the "Jug."
