Comprised of four squadrons that flew North American B-25 Mitchells, the Air Apaches advanced across the Pacific Theater of Operations from 1943 to 1945. The 345th’s tour of duty was approximately two years and eight months. Initially based at Port Moresby, they began combat operations in July 1943, supporting Allied ground offenses along the north coast of New Guinea, and attacking enemy forces in New Britain later in the year. During 1944, the group advanced northwest, striking targets in Indonesia and eventually the Philippines. Through 1945, the 345th reached out to Indochina, Formosa, and, ultimately, the southern main islands of Japan. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
Historian and aviator Jay Stout follows up his spellbinding account of the U.S. 303rd Bomb Group-Hell's Angels-with the equally remarkable story of the Air Apaches in the Pacific. Air Apaches reconstructs the war of the 345th Bomb Group in impressively painstaking detail, capturing what it was like to be one of the young men flying low-level bombing and strafing missions and-if the missions weren't dangerous enough-facing such challenges as kamikaze attacks and, if a pilot was shot down, primitive jungle conditions and a sword-brandishing enemy who did not treat downed airmen by the letter of the Geneva Convention. Air Apaches is more than the story of one unit in aerial combat in World War II. It is the story of men at war across all of history. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
