Description

This title covers the Eighth Air Force, which was the only fighting arm in World War II to give ground skills the same classification as aerial victories. It shows just how important a document "Down to Earth" was to the teaching of tyro fighter pilots in heading for action in the ETO. More leading aces were lost to flak whilst ground strafing than to German fighters.
