Product Information

This volume is the commemoration of the sacrifices and dedication of a group of extremely courageous, though largely unheralded young men who volunteered to answer a call, and to prosecute to its finish, in a manner up close and very personal, a war not of their making so as to make the world free of tyranny and a safer, better place in which to live. Written by Steve Luce, the son of one of the pilots of the 86th, their story is presented by over 225 photographs from the veterans, most never before published and with personal stories about their war experiences. This is the story of the men and machines of the 86th Fighter-Bomber Group, 12th Air Force. The 86th was operationally assigned only two aircraft during WW II. From their combat debut in early July, 1943, out of Korba, Tunisia and later based out of Italy, until the summer of 1944 they flew the North American A-36 Apache or Invader. They also flew a small number of the straight P-51, the cannon-armed version of the same airframe, for pinpoint demolition work where the Browning .50 caliber weapon, of which the A-36 carried six, was considered too light, and bombs were considered too inaccurate. From the summer of 1944 until VE-Day they flew the Republic P-47 Thunderbolt. In the interim between official assignments, they filled in with P-40's. There is a certain kind of man who is greater than the sum of his parts. The moral imperative generated by his acknowledgment of duty and his regard for innocent life is stronger than his biological imperative for self preservation and he, the consummate altruist, goes in harm's way under the most dire circumstances imaginable, often on a daily basis, putting his life on the line (sometimes several times daily), knowing that there is a strong possibility that he might not return. Fighter-bomber pilots fought a unique kind of war in which they were often the sole targets for massed enemy guns. Flying in very small groups of usually less than a dozen, they engaged in what amounted to single combat, flying essentially alone, close to the ground, very visible to those multitudes of enemy guns, of which the pilots were often not aware until they started taking lead, steel and high explosive at very close range. When they died, they died alone, at low altitude and high speed with very little chance and less time to get out of aircraft turned into sieves by everything the enemy could put in the air, from large-caliber cannon shells to pistol rounds to bricks to the kitchen sink. Reading personal combat logs and squadron daily reports, it was stated very clearly that, in many instances, pilots on low-level strikes simply vanished. No one saw them get hit, no one saw them go in, no radio calls, nothing. This is their story, fully illustrated with dozens of color profiles by Aviation Artist Terry Higgins.
