Barrett Tillman lives in Arizona with his wife Sally..
The Wall Street Journal hailed him as "a master story teller," and Pulitzer Prize-winner Stephen Hunter called Whirlwind "a miracle of military history." Tillman\'s work has been cited in dozens of history books and has been used as course work by the Air Force, the Navy, and Marine Corps.
He is a familiar television commentator with over a dozen credits on The History Channel and National Geographic Channel.
Includes glossy photo signature of historic pictures and documents About the Author: Barrett Tillman is the author of Whirlwind in addition to more than 40 books and 550 articles.
This book is a must-read for military history enthusiasts, veterans, current servicemen and their families.
The Forgotten Fifteenth is the first-ever detailed account of the Fifteenth Air Force in World War II and the brave men that history has abandoned.
In so doing, they contributed to the end of the most destructive war in history.
They suffered steady attrition and occasionally spectacular losses.
They were the first generation of fliers--few of them professionals--to conduct a strategic bombing campaign against a major industrial nation.
In his new book, The Forgotten Fifteenth: The Daring Airmen Who Crippled Hitler\'s War Machine, 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.
The story of the Fifteenth Air Force deserves a prideful place in the annals of American gallantry.
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.
Army Air Forces waged an unprecedentedly dogged and violent campaign against Hitler\'s vital oil production and industrial plants on the Third Reich\'s southern flank.
