The 25th Bomb Group (Ren) In World War II by Norman Malayney, Schiffer Military History, 302pp, illus, hbk, $69.99 (approx£44) - This extensive and comprehensively researched book charts the history of the USAAF's 25th Bomb Group. Superbly illustrated throughout, it is ideal for historians and anyone with a keen interest in USAAF 'ops' during World War Two. The Americans entered the war lacking technical expertise in photo-reconnaissance. It was a skill they mastered partly through the exploits of the 25th. The latter was established in August 1944 at Watton, Norfolk, and equipped with the DH Mosquito. The Group had two squadrons assigned to gather weather data and observations.
