This book presents in guide form the flight uniforms and equipment used on the European front by American airmen between August 1942, the date of the first bombing mission over France, and May 1945.

Through hundreds of archive photographs and objects presented in detail, this new expanded edition traces the evolution of these items of equipment, the mixing of American and British gear including field modifications, through to the latest technical innovations.

At the end of the work, reenactments reproduce the silhouettes of these airmen who contributed, from the skies, to the liberation of Europe.

D'azur et de Sable – An Aviator in Syria in 1923

L21070187
€18.48
Marcel Migeo is a great name from the heroic age of French aviation, even if he lacks the fame of a Mermoz, a Guillaumet or a Saint-Exupéry — all three of whom he knew personally. Refusing a pre-ordained career as a civil servant at the Ministry of Finance, he chose aviation out of a taste for adventure and travel.

Being born in the middle of the century of the two world wars offered the opportunity for exceptional encounters: with the ghosts of the First, with the legends of the Second in the shadow of General de Gaulle.

The Flying Tigers are legendary. Yet their true history is poorly known to the general public, and the most implausible rumours circulate about them, particularly in Europe. In 1967, aged just eight years old, the author became passionate about these aviators, their exploits, their aircraft, their battles. He never ceased researching the subject, and the...

Many books have addressed the Battle of Stalingrad — and for good reason: it is one of the fiercest battles of the Second World War and, in many respects, one of the turning points on the Eastern Front. Urban combat, the "war of rats", the fierce resistance of the Red Army with its back to the Volga, the encirclement of an entire German army — which then...
