Of these four were posthumous awards and all but one of the total were for officers. Some of these valorous airmen were from humble backgrounds and with limited education others were collegiate men from wealthy families but in the words of one senior officer they all had in common 'the guts of a lion'. This book provides fascinating insights into the lives of these bravest of the brave and of the circumstances in which they won their country's highest award for valour." Clean bright copy. .

"At first light on the morning of Ist January 1945 over 800 Luftwaffe fighters took off from their bases in Germany to attack Allied airfields in Holland Belgium and France. Some of these surprise attacks proved successful some were hardly noticed while others were disastrous for the attackers. Basing his account on information from both Wing and Squadron diaries and with many first-hand account s from the men who were there Norman Franks paints a definitive picture of that winter morning and the rest of the day. In these attacks and in the air battles which were fought at low level across the open countrysides and over towns in t h e L o w Countries the Luftwaffe lost up to 300 of their fighter aircraft and over 200 pilots were killed or taken prisoner. The Allied air forces lost some 200 aircraft with little loss of life and were able to replace their losses within d ay s w h er ea s t he Luftwaffe had greater difficulty in finding new pilots. Operation Bodenplatte was planned as a lightening blow to smash the British and American forces in north-west Europe. In fact it turned out to be the Luftwaffe's fin al ac t o f s el f-d est ru ct ion." Tiny scuff to bottom of front board. Dust jacket has minor rubbing. This is a new unread book.
