Spitfires and Yellow Tail Mustangs: The 52nd Fighter Group in World War II

This is an AWESOME reference book for any modeler of P-51s or Spitfires. I had no idea the US flew Spitfires in WW2 until I read this book. Beautiful color photos of paint schemes about halfway through that are fairly detailed.

Piacevole libro, completo di molte fotografie dell'epoca. Articoli ben organizzati, di facile lettura - ovviamente in inglese - consigliato per gli amanti usaaf

Very good book, well researched.

Fabulous and historically accurate book .

Since I knew very little about the 52nd Fighter Group of the USAAF in World War II, I decided to pick this book up in order to remedy that hole in my library. It's a very detailed work on the group, from its early origins in the U.S. to its combat service in Africa, Italy and over various countries in Europe. The narrative flows smoothly and is interspersed with personal accounts from a variety of personnel in the group, not just the fighter pilots who essentially are the main element of the book.The book also contains a ton of pictures of planes, key figures, some combat footage, crash landings and various bases from the group's service in World War II. There was a nice section of color profiles which provided a nice addition to the book as black and white pictures don't provide all the detail you want when it comes to aircraft markings/profiles.A good book on a very good fighter group, worth your time and money.
