Description

Almost a private battle, the Marauders of the 17th, 323rd and 344th Bombardment Groups took on the unique Me 262 jet fighter unit JV 44, one of the Luftwaffe’s most controversial and mysterious units. A series of fierce and bitter battles over Germany pitted some of the Reich’s best pilots and most revolutionary planes against the crews of the much-maligned Martin B-26. This is a detailed account that includes many aircrew recollections. Illustrated throughout.
