About the book >.>.> Coverage of the early operations of VIII Fighter Command is also included up until its trio of Spitfire-equipped fighter groups either transitioned to the P-47 or were posted to the Mediterranean Theatre of Operations. The large format of this book has allowed a substantial number of photographs of both men and their machinery to be included within its 128 pages. Sourced from both private and official archives the photographs published in American Eagles represent the most comprehensive collection of early-war images of Yanks in Britain’ ever published. Newly-commissioned profiles have also given an essentially black and white’ war a colour dimension and the majority of those aircraft depicted in artwork by leading British artist Mark Styling bave been linked to notable pilots and/or events. Although not attempting to be the definitive work on this little-publicised aspect of RAF Fighter Command (please check the comprehensive bibliography at the back of this volume for other works of note) American Eagles instead complements these textually-driven books through the sheer volume of photographs contained within its covers. The mix of images first-hand accounts and thoroughly researched text and captions should make this volume a useful reference tool for bistorians aviation enthusiasts and bobbyists alike.
