It is more than 30 years since the original and highly-acclaimed
history of 2nd Tactical Air Force was first published, and it has
been long out of print. Now at last, a completely rewritten and
greatly expanded account of this important command's vital
contribution to the Invasion of Normandy and the defeat of the forces
of the Third Reich in Western Europe has been prepared. The 2nd TAF,
equipped with rocket - and bomb-carrying Typhoons, Tempests,
Spitfires, Mosquitos, Mustangs, and medium bombers, flew ground
attack and tank-busting missions in support of Montgomery's 21st Army
Group as it advanced through Normandy and northwest Europe in
1944-45. The medium bomber units struck at enemy transport,
ammunition dumps, and communication targets. The 2nd TAF comprized
British, Canadian, Polish, Czech, Norwegian, French, South African,
Australian, and New Zealand crews.
