I see what you mean, Stevin - I just reached this chapter this morning and have to say it's one of the best 8th AF combat accounts I've ever read.
I hadn't realised that this was the infamous 'Oschersleben Mission'. It makes for quite incredible reading ; my respect for 8th AF aircrew, already high, has just increased even more ( and, actually, the Luftwaffe pilots too ).
I have very much enjoyed reading this book over the holiday period ; it's so absorbing that I feel disappointed that the end is in sight.
Full marks to Amazon UK for stocking this revised edition at a bargain price !
