Summary: The Best WW2 Book I've Ever Read
Comment: Out of all the World War Two books that I've read, this one is by far the greatest of them all. Gerald Astor takes you into the cockpit of a P-51 Mustang, the pilot's seat of a B-17 and the cold prison camps of Nazi Germany. I could not put this book down. This is a book written from the experiences of the men who were actually there. The men of the 8th Air Force are indeed heroes, and this is their story. Thank God for these men. BUY THIS BOOK!!!

Summary: Best for aviation buffs, but useful nonetheless
Comment: Astor's Mighty Eighth gives a thorough account of the efforts of the US Army Air Corps' 8th Air Force in World War II. It can be at times very human, others very number-crunching. I gave this book to my A.P. US History juniors this summer, and they did not find it as informative as I would have liked. Still, for a solid account that shows how the 8th, which did not exist prior to Pearl Harbor, was assembled into the mightiest armada of planes in history, this does the job. Of the few books dedicated solely to the bombing of Europe by the 8th, this stands out due to its number of personal accounts and stories used by Astor to reinforce his points and research.

Summary: UNDERSTANDING HOW TH 8th A. F. WORKS
Comment: A must read before anything else to under stand how the air force operated,the back ground infomation the personal, bases, men, equipment, the stories I had read with unfamilar terms and such all came into a clear light of understanding after reading this book.
