352nd Fighter Group (Osprey Aviation Elite 8)
- Used Book in Good Condition
Nicknamed the â‚¬ËœBluenosed Bastards of Bodneyâ‚¬ due to the garish all-blue noses of their P-51s, the 352nd FG was one of the most successful fighter groups in the Eighth Air Force. Credited with destroying almost 800 enemy aircraft between 1943 and 1945, the 352nd finished fourth in the ranking of all groups within VIII Fighter Command. Initially equipped with P-47s, the group transitioned to P-51s in the spring of 1944, and it was with the Mustang that its pilots enjoyed their greatest success. Numerous first-hand accounts, 55 newly commissioned artworks and 140+ photos complete this concise history of the â‚¬ËœBluenosersâ‚¬.
