Bombing Europe: The Illustrated Exploits of the Fifteenth Air Force

“This is the book the Fighting Fifteenth has long deserved, bringing forward in stirring prose and vivid images the immense contribution it made to victory in Europe.” – Donald L. Miller, Author of Masters of the Air: America’s Bomber Boys Who Fought the Air War Against Nazi Germany

“Mahoney is more than familiar with the history of the Fifteenth and is accomplished as an author so Bombing Europe is no archetypal history book. Instead, it is a concise history laden with trials and tribulations of the aircrews and generously stocked with images. The text relates the thinking and the context of the events while the photos bring these events jumping off the book’s pages. Bombing Europe is long overdue… this book tells their story and what a story it is.” – Seattle Post Intelligencer, Travel for Aircraft blog

“Zenith Press has delivered yet another stunning book with Bombing Europe. For me, this book was quite moving. These are stories that you can’t make up. Incredible tales and they (soldiers) are tough as nails to have made it through.”
