摘要

Although sub-titled A Photographic Odyssey of the 353rd Fighter Group during the Second World War', this substantial volume is far more than a picture book. 'Slybirds' was the nickname of the 353rd FG, which came to East Anglia as part of the Eighth Air Force 'invasion' in summer 1943. Based successively at Goxhill, Metfield and finally Raydon, the 'Slybirds' were initially equipped with the P-47D, converting to the P-51D in October 1944.
