Description

Over thirty years after the original and highly-acclaimed history was published, here is a completely rewritten and expanded account of this important command’s vital contribution. This second of four volumes covers the breakout from Normandy, the advance across the Low Countries and the German ripostes in the Ardennes and with Operation ‘Bodenplatte’. The first volume deals with the formation and expansion of 2nd TAF from its inception in June 1943 for the next 12 months, and with the initial critical month of the invasion, while Volume 3 gives details of the final months of the conflict, including the crossings of the Rhine and Elbe rivers. This volume also includes comprehensive appendices and a personnel index.
