Beschreibung

U. S. air forces carried the fight high above the battlefields of World War II. Pilots flew dangerous missions over land and sea, protecting troops, attacking enemy targets, and helping turn the tide of the war. During the Battle of Midway, American pilots launched bold attacks that helped sink key Japanese aircraft carriers and shift the balance of power in the Pacific. In Europe, massive air raids such as Operation Argument targeted German aircraft factories, weakening the enemy's ability to fight in the skies. The war in the air also opened doors for the heroic Tuskegee Airmen-African American pilots and crew members who proved their skill and courage while escorting bombers and completing successful missions despite facing discrimination at home. Flying fighters and bombers and relying on teamwork and advanced aircraft, U. S. air forces played a vital role in the Allied victory. Hi-lo text and compelling photos give readers an inside look at the bravery and determination of America's World War II air forces.
