2nd Tactical Air Force

This book tells in detail the operational history of 2nd Tactical Air Force, R.A.F., from its formation in November 1943 until the end of World War II in Europe. It covers the invasion of Normandy, the Arnhem landings, the long, cold winter of 1944-1945 and the Germans' Ardennes offensive, the Luftwaffe's famous "New Years Day" attack, the massive Rhine crossings and the final dash across Germany.
The book is profusely illustrated with photographs, and there are also eight pages of Richard Ward's colour side-view paintings, illustrating all the major aircraft involved in numerous typical colour schemes.
