About the Book

From Bill Yenne, author of the military histories Big Week and Aces High, come the stirring true story of the Eight Air Force in World War 11. From Bill Yenne, author of the military histories Big Week and Aces High, come the stirring true story of the Eight Air Force in World War 11. Barely a month after the attack on Pearl Harbor, The US Army formed its Eight Air Force, the first bomber command on either side to commit to strategic daylight bombing, with the goal of defeating the Third Reich from the air. The men of the Eighth paid the price in both lives and blood. Hit the Target introduces readers to those who made the Eighth Air Force the formidable juggernaut it soon became. Men of all ranks, from General Tooey Spaatz, the hard-driving founding commander, to Colonel Jimmy Doolittle, the hero who led the first air raid on Japan, to Maynard "Snuffy" Smith, the irascible first airman in Europe to be awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor. The story of the Mighty Eighth is told through these men, whose careers paralleled the early history of aviation and who helped to revolutionize airborne warfare and win World War 11.

Review :
Praise for Big Week “The author provides a day-by-day account of what took place as German industrial facilities were targeted for attack. Yenne skillfully situates the action, pulling together various threads. . . Well-written and fast-paced, this will be compelling to specialists and general readers alike.”—Kirkus Reviews Praise for Aces High “This is the greatest flying story of all time. . . If there was ever an aviation tale that had all the elements of an old school Hollywood blockbuster, Bill Yenne’s Aces High is it. Wake up, Spielberg. This is the screenplay you’ve been looking for.”—Dan Roam, author of The Back of the Napkin: Solving Problems and Selling Ideas
