Masters of the Air: America's Bomber Boys Who Fought the Air War Against Nazi Germany

World War II could not have been won without the bombers of the U.S. Eighth Air Force, which pummeled Germany by day while the British bombed at night. In Masters of the Air, prizewinning historian Donald L. Miller tells the dramatic story of the American bomber boys (Clark Gable and Jimmy Stewart among them) who brought the war to Hitler's doorstep before Allied soldiers stepped on German soil.

Drawing on massive archival research in the U.S. and Europe, as well as oral histories of hundreds of airmen, Donald Miller has written a deeply personal account of the world's first and only bomber war, describing the suffering not only of the bomber crews but also of the German people under the bombs.
