Within four months, they had set up base in England. Three months later, they were bombing German targets in occupied Europe. The Eighth was the first bomber command on either side to commit to strategic daylight bombing. It was a major change in tactics--and the men of the Eighth paid the price in both lives and blood. But it was that very sacrifice that led the Allies to victory. This story is told through these men, whose careers paralleled the early history of aviation--and who helped to revolutionize airborne warfare and win World War II. 610 10 $a United States. $b Air Force, 8th $b Air Force, 8th $v Biography. 610 10 $a United States. $b Air Force, 8th $b Air Force, 8th $x Officers $v Biography. 610 10 $a United States. $b Air Force, 8th $b Air Force, 8th $x Aerial gunners $v Biography. 650 0 $a Air pilots, Military $z United States $v Biography. 650 0 $a Leadership $z United States $x History $y 20th century. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Aerial operations, American. 650 0 $a World War, 1939-1945 $x Campaigns $z Western Front. 700 1 $a Snow, Corey. $e narrator. 941 $a 1 945 $a cdab 952 $l CBPF522 $d 20170815011037.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1F0B2472817F11E79428AD3997128E48 994 $a C0 $b LX#Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
