Hell In The Heavans, by William Hess, Specialty Press, 11605 Kost Dam Road, North Branch MN55056. ltem#SP030, ISBN #l-58007-030-2, softbound, format 6x 9, 29 b&w photos. The cost is $16.95.

     This book is a collection of the 8th Air Force bomb groups that met with disaster in WWII.

     It is a fascinating chronicle of the U.S. Air Force's persistence in the face of overwhelming odds. I sure would not have wanted to be crouched in some bomber's nose, tail gunner's position or top turret.

     I liked the book. It provides an excellent account of the Air Force Bomb Group Missions.

-Richard Croft
