Quote:
It was "The Greatest Aces" by Edward Sims. Sims, a P-47 pilot and newspaper editor, wrote a series of books detailing the most memorable fighter missions of WW2 American and international aces, chosen by the pilots themseves, detailed in extensive personal interviews.
ANY book by Sims is very well worth buying sight unseen, since it consists of first-hand personal information and insights not likely to be available anywhere else.
They were all issued in paperback and should be found in those great shabby paperback stores so full of forgotten, cheap treasures.

Actually, the first book I saw it in was older than that. There was a multi-volume set on WWII and this was one of the things in it.
