Descriptionof Bloody Skies
Manufacturer

Founded in autumn 1943, the 15th US Air Force was commonly known as the forgotten 15th because its successes were overshadowed by the more glamorous exploits of the 8th US Air Force in the air war over Germany. Nevertheless, the 15th's contribution to the Allied victory was crucial, and a significant part of that was the role played by the escort fighter groups of the 15th Fighter Command, which protected the B-17s and B-24s from the Luftwaffe in the skies over Romania. In this history of the campaign, renowned aviation historian Thomas Cleaver tells the story of the 15th US Air Force's air war through eyewitness accounts from the fighter pilots of the 15th Fighter Group, including such famous units as the Red Tails - the Tuskegee Airmen - the 82nd Fighter Group, and the Checkertail Clan of the 325th Fighter Group, and with his ability to place the events of the war in a larger context.
