Flying from southern Italy, far from the limelight enjoyed by the Eighth Air Force in England, the Fifteenth Air Force engaged in high-risk missions spanning most of the European continent. The story of the Fifteenth Air Force deserves a prideful place in the annals of American gallantry. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn his new book, \u003ci\u003eThe Forgotten Fifteenth: The Daring Airmen Who Crippled Hitler's War Machine\u003c\/i\u003e, Tillman brings into focus a seldom-seen multinational cast of characters, including pilots from Axis nations Romania, Hungary, and Bulgaria and many more remarkable individuals. They were the first generation of fliers--few of them professionals--to conduct a strategic bombing campaign against a major industrial nation. They suffered steady attrition and occasionally spectacular losses. In so doing, they contributed to the end of the most destructive war in history. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003eThe Forgotten Fifteenth\u003c\/i\u003e is the first-ever detailed account of the Fifteenth Air Force in World War II and the brave men that history has abandoned.
