Reviews for 57th Fighter Group - First in the Blue
3 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Molesworth is something of a specialist in the Curtiss P-40 and the pilots that flew them so this is a life and times of a unit that was the first significant U.S. fighter unit that served against the Germans and was famous for, if nothing else, the so-called "Palm Sunday Massacre." This is where elements of the group decimated a mass formation of German transport aircraft trying to evacuate German personnel from the wreckage of Hitler's North African adventure. I still rather like this series more than Osprey's companion "Aircraft of the Aces" but one can understand that there was too much overlap to justify two series.
