Asked why he was in Britain, a US serviceman, fighting the war in the
skies over Germany with the US 8th Air Force quipped, 'We're here to win
the war for you'. Martin Bowman has spent much of the past two decades
recording the memories of hundreds of American airmen who came to
Britain to fight the Germans and Italians. Giving a unique insight into
both combat missions and life back at base, he has managed to compile a
fascinating oral history of the war through the words of the men who
took it direct to the heart of both Germany and Italy, men who risked
their lives daily in the search for freedom for occupied Europe. A
fascinating history from the voices of the American airmen who flew
daily from bases in East Anglia to the heart of Germany.
