By LtCol (Ret) Jay A. Stout / Genre: Germany, Europe, History / Rating: 4.7 out of 5 stars (29 reviews)

Men Who Killed the Luftwaffe: The U.S. Army Air Forces Against Germany in World War II

In order to defeat Germany in World War II, the Allies needed to destroy the Third Reich’s industry and invade its territory, but before they could effectively do either, they had to defeat the Luftwaffe, whose state-of-the-art aircraft and experienced pilots protected German industry and would batter any attempted invasion. This difficult task fell largely to the U.S., which, at the outset, lacked the necessary men, materiel, and training. Over the ensuing years, thanks to visionary leadership and diligent effort, the U.S. Army Air Force developed strategies and tactics and assembled a well-trained force that convincingly defeated the Luftwaffe.

Truth or dare?
Good English families all have a house in the country with a deer park, a trout stream, and an army of gardeners. They should have a son and if it can be managed, he should be handsome.

Sophy can’t resist twisting the truth. Soon she’s caught in her own snare—and it might just be a noose.
