Mustang Aces of the Eighth Air Force (Osprey Aircraft of the Aces, No 1) |
Average rating:  |
 | No substance. |
| THis book is all about great pictures and great drawnings. But,a s for the text, forget about it... It has no substance, no deepeness, as Scutts tries to talk about every single Fighter Group in the Eighth Air Force, but can't talk effectively about none of them. Also, there are terrible mistakes in the book. I do not reccomend it, except for the photos. |
 | 8th AF Mustang "Aces" |
| I read / research a fair amount of 8th Air Force History. I have often retrieved this book from the shelf for quick reference. This is a great book for an introduction into the Mustang and the men who flew them and became Aces. There are other books / biographies devoted to much more detail about the Pilots and the P-51 aircraft, but for a high level look and different variations this book gets my vote. If you're a modeler of the P-51 you will find this book useful for the different color schemes of the WWII fighter groups in the ETO. |
| GOOD START FOR THIS SERIES |
| This series began well with this book by Jerry Scutts. It is really difficult to cover in one short volume all the aces that flew P-51 with the Eight air Force in WW II, and Scutts tried to give the reader a general view of their tasks and accomplishments. THe appendix at the end is very valuable. Good work. |
