Here in the War Manual is how it was done.Details are many. Historians, roleplayers and reenactors can read about the planning before a mission. You can read about the tactics used by 8th AF bombers in 1942, then later in 43, 44 and 1945. How they evolved from a lose squadron formation to 1,000 bomber combat boxes escorted by 700 to 800 fighters. Diagrams are included. Even the Summer 1944 radio callsigns for 8th AF Squadrons are listed.The Equipment list is staggering!
