The 308th's wide-ranging activities through nearly three years of bitter air warfare are virtually unknown, despite the fact that it performed some of the most accurate bombing of the U.S. Army Air Forces, and used the first American "smart bomb" called the Azon. The 308th also sustained the highest casualty rate in the USAAF, as its missions were long and hard. Many were often conducted at very low level and at night through the very heart of Japanese-occupied territory, and their controlled sea lanes.
A study of the records of World War II reveals that every bomber crew has stories to tell that were as interesting as those of any fighter pilot. Renown aviation historian Colonoel C.V. Glines has woven these fascinating personal narratives into a wider story of the air way in China. C.V. Glines is also the author of "The Doolittle Raid" and "Attack on Yamamoto".
