Gun Camera - World War II: Photography from Allied Fighters and Bombers over Occupied Europe

Buy
The air war over occupied Europe and Nazi Germany is illustrated from the unique and dramatic point of view of gun cameras mounted on Allied aircraft. The story begins as American bombers fall prey to Nazi flak and fighters and continues through the recapture of European skies as seen from American P-51 Mustangs and P-47 Thunderbolts and British Spitfires. Also depicted are breathtaking images of ground strafings and crews coaxing crippled bombers into perilous belly landings.

This is a picture of the air war in the European Theatre of World War II the way the pilots saw it. From the cockpit. From the waist gun slots. From P-51s chasing Bf-109s and from B-17s struggling to stay in formation and get home in one piece.

It is not a romantic picture, but neither was the war. It is, however, a vivid picture, told one flight at a time, one plane at a time, one day at a time, one personal triumph or tragedy at a time, for this is indeed the way wars are fought. Just ask any airman who was there.
