Synopsis
On the very first day of the invasion of Sicily, three months into his combat career, Allan Knepper flew his P-38 Lightning fighter in a squadron sent out to sweep the island and interdict German ground targets. Retreating German infantry unexpectedly pounded the American flyers. Knepper was one of two shot down; he was never found. Knepper's story is the story-in-microcosm of thousands of American fighter pilots in World War II. Richardson recounts Knepper's experiences from training through combat and uses them to discuss the aircraft, tactics and doctrine, training, base life, and aerial combat of the war. This is the intimate account of one pilot at war, but also the anatomy of the fighter-pilot experience in World War II., The World War II fighter-pilot story On the very first day of the invasion of Sicily, three months into his combat career, Allan Knepper flew his P-38 Lightning fighter in a squadron sent out to sweep the island and interdict German ground targets.

    Only packaged in an unpadded satchel. Despite, the item actually arrived in good condition as described. Ran into an issue, contacted the seller via listing and received an automated response where they clearly did not read my message. Competitive pricing. ⭐⭐⭐

    I had an excellent experience with this purchase. The item arrived quickly and was exactly as described—if not better. It was a very good price for this book. It was carefully packaged, showing great attention to detail and care. Communication was smooth throughout the process, and everything went perfectly from start to finish. I would absolutely recommend this seller and would gladly do business with them again. Highly satisfied!
