1-939011

An illustrated account of how the USAAF was challenged by the Jagdflieger and their heavily armed and armored, FW 190A-8 Sturmjager. Explores the fascinating feats of the men flying the Fw 190A-8 and its subvariants. Pilots were given exceptional training and many were volunteers, some of whom were willing to sign oaths that they would bring down a bomber at all costs - even if it meant ramming the enemy aircraft. Uses first-person accounts, archival photos, full-color illustrations, maps, and tactical diagrams.
