Description
The First Combat Bomb Wing in World War II by Ron Mackay This study explores one of the 8th USAAF's sub-units, the 1st Combat Bomb Wing (1CBW), created on 13 September 1943. Formed from earlier units, including the 91BG and 351BG, the 1CBW played a significant role in the "Mighty Eighth's" campaign to deny Germany the means to pursue its conquest ambitions. The operational experience of these units spanned nearly three years, with the wing undergoing various changes and displacements. The book examines the unit's history, highlighting its key moments and contributions to the war effort. Through photographs and detailed accounts, Mackay sheds light on this pivotal aspect of World War II aviation history. By exploring the 1CBW's story, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the strategic and tactical decisions made during this critical period in the war.
