More about the book

The narrative centers on the intense bombing raid conducted by the United States Air Force on October 14, 1943, targeting Nazi Germany's crucial industrial center. A fleet of 291 B-17 Flying Fortresses, supported by agile P-47 Thunderbolts, faced fierce opposition from German fighters, including Messerschmitts and Focke-Wulfs, as they aimed to disrupt the enemy's ball-bearing production in Schweinfurt. The account captures the bravery and strategic significance of this pivotal military operation during World War II.
