The mass fratricide off Sicily, the night drop for D-Day and the Bastogne supply missions are also covered, along with more typical accounts of training, formation flying, airdrops and casualty evacuation missions. This book details an aircraft that remains a popular favourite and an acknowledged design classic, carrying out missions every bit as strategically important and as dramatic for the aircrew as those of the fighters and bombers.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eReview(s):\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eISBN:  9781841767505\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e ","brand":"Osprey Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":40595416711374,"sku":"9781841767505","price":24.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0600\/7029\/7806\/products\/getimage_8d911a71-8bb9-4bce-90de-dc84c84c9da8.jpg?v=1637831246","url":"https:\/\/pickwickbookshop.com\/products\/9781841767505","provider":"Pickwick Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
