Mustang in France · JA Parmiter · bibli

From the author

Feb 25, 1944. Operation Argument, what is later known as Big Week. A concentrated attack by the VIII Air Force on Luftwaffe production. A young fighter pilot leads his squadron into combat. By the end of the day he encounters the unexpected over France. His mission had been to protect the bombers and the members of his squadron. By the end of the day his mission was to survive. Inspired by real Resistance escape lines and the true stories of Allied airmen who evaded with the help of the Resistance. Mustang in France is a story about the ordinary people who risked everything to save strangers and the kind of love that survives on nothing but a promise. Meticulously researched with accurate historical details. The raid actually happened on Feb 25, 1944. The checklist steps, the squadrons, the tactics, all the locations, the routes of travel are real. Even moon phases and sunrise/set times. French translations are at the end of each chapter.
