Praise for Hell’s Angels
“[An] epic tale of the World War II aerial campaign over
Europe...Hell's Angels is a gripping and awe-inspiring
book.”—Nathaniel Fick, author of One Bullet Away
“It's all there—the boredom, the devotion, the horror and even the
humor in an industrial war fought on a global scale that we'll
never see again. Unit histories just do not get any
better.”—Barrett Tillman, author of Whirlwind and Forgotten
Fifteenth.
“Jay Stout is a triple-threat aviation historian—an experienced
combat aviator, a meticulous researcher and a compelling story
teller. His uncanny eye for authentic detail allows Hell’s Angels
to be the incredible story of the 303rd Bomb Group and the bombing
campaign that crippled Nazi Germany. Stout makes a hard-ridden
topic seem fresh and new again. Highly recommended.”—Walter J.
Boyne, Author/Historian
“Jay Stout’s reputation as a hard-hitting, authoritative, yet
easy-to-read aviation author is upheld with this book. Readers
looking for new insights and material will not be disappointed.
Highly recommended.”—Donald Caldwell, author of JG 26: Top
Guns of the Luftwaffe
“A well-researched, beautifully written, and deeply evocative paean
to the 303rd Heavy Bombardment Group—and all the young American
heavy-bomber crewmen who, from 1942 to 1945, went out, facing a
high probability of death or imprisonment, to grind the German
industrial base to dust.”—Eric Hammel, Author of The Road to Big
Week
“Jay Stout has done a masterful job. The life and death struggles
are told using the mission records, personal writings and
experiences of one of the Eighth Air Force's most successful
bombardment groups. All who wish a complete understanding of
the role played by the Eighth Air Force and the strategic bombing
of Germany should read this book.”—Keith Ferris, Artist and
Military Aviation Historian
