This book tells the stories of the American airmen who flew daily from bases in East Anglia to the heart of Germany. Asked why he was in Britain, a US serviceman quipped, 'We're here to win the war for you'. The men of the US 8th AF dropped more bombs on Germany and Italy than any other air force.

As a bomber, long-range reconnaissance and low-level strike aircraft, the de Havilland Mosquito proved to be a versatile aircraft. Covering the period from the Mosquito's introduction to the end of the Second World War, this book interweaves the history of the aircraft with the tales of the personnel who worked with the planes.
