Description
The Long Campaign: A History of the 15th Fighter Group in World War II by John W. Lambert Hardcover, 192 pages This book tells the story of the 15th Fighter Group's combat operations across the Central Pacific during World War II. From its activation in December 1940 to its final mission on the last day of the war, the group flew numerous long-range missions from Iwo Jima to Honshu. Using personal interviews with veterans and official records, the author provides a detailed account of the group's experiences. The result is a comprehensive wartime chronicle that sheds light on the often-overlooked role of the 15th Fighter Group in the Pacific Theater. A notable achievement in aviation history, this book has won recognition from the Aviation Writers Association.
