Our Newest Book, Defeat of Nazi Germany, is now available!


The new series on Apple TV+, “Masters of the Air,” created a renewed appreciation of the achievements and sacrifices so many soldiers had made during the Second World War. The vivid depiction of the harrowing missions endured by crewmembers of the 100th Bomb Group revealed that aerial combat was no less vicious than the fighting on the ground.

During the earlier years of 1942-43, the "Bloody 100th" of the Third Division, US Eighth Air Force, suffered horrific casualties from attacks by the German Air Force. Every bombing raid was confronted with hundreds of enemy fighter aircraft. With the arrival of the North American P-51 Mustang in January 1944, all that changed, and the Luftwaffe was soundly defeated. The Allied air forces had achieved complete superiority of the skies over Europe. How this was accomplished, along with the final destruction of Germany, is told by S.Sgt. Chester Fong.
