Review
Thomas Ivie chronicles the exploits of 325th FG's ("Checkertail Clan") 27 aces in the 117th volume of Osprey's "Aircraft of the Aces" series. Coverage recaps pilots' aerial combat over North Africa, the Mediterranean and Europe. And modelers seeking project inspiration will certainly savor Chris Davey's color profiles. Another convenient Osprey history!
Coverage includes:
- Introduction
- Activation, Training and Into Combat
- Thunderbolt and the 15th Air Force
- Mustang Era
- Where is the Luftwaffe?
- Swansong of the Luftwaffe
My sincere thanks to Osprey Publishing for this review sample!
