This book examines the overlooked Fifteenth Air Force that operated from North Africa and then Italy during World War II. The bomber and fighter wings played a major role in wrecking Nazi Germany's oil production capability and paid a heavy toll in the process. Besides the overall strategic view of the air campaign, there are also numerous stories of individual valor on the part of the air crews and pilots. The author also gives proper credit to the ground crews who kept these aircraft flying, even in miserable conditions.
