Ace and Wingmen II Volume One
Ace and Wingmen II Volume One
Aces And Wingmen II Volume I is all about Men, Machines and Units of the United States Army Air Force, Eighth Fighter Command and 354th Fighter Group, Ninth Air Force, 1943-45. This wonderful book was edited by Tom Frisque and illustrated by Steve Ferguson. Published by Aviation Usk in 1989. This is a hardcover book and in New Condition. I purchased new in 1991 at a book signing dinner at Nieuport 17 restaurant Tustin, California. The four aces that signed were present at the dinner. This book was stored ever since and has not been read
