سماء دامية | قيادة المقاتلات الخامسة عشرة ضد كل الصعاب

Bloody Skies | This book details the operations of the US Air Force's little-understood 15th Fighter Command, which protected bombers during the Romanian oil field campaign in World War II. Established in the fall of 1943, the 15th Air Force was popularly known as the "Forgotten Fifteenth Air Force", overshadowed by the Eighth Air Force's more illustrious achievements in the air war over Germany. However, the 15th Air Force's contribution to the Allied victory was crucial, a crucial aspect of which was played by the 15th Fighter Command's escort fighter squadrons, which protected Luftwaffe B-17 and B-24 bombers in the skies over Romania. In this new history of the campaign, renowned aviation historian Tom Cleaver tells the story of the 15th Air War through first-hand accounts from 15th Fighter Command's fighter pilots, including such famous units as the "Red Tails" - the Tuskegee Airmen - the 82nd Fighter Group and the 325th's "Checker Tail Clan", thanks to his ability to place wartime events in their broader context.
