Synopsis

A new illustrated account of the 'Friendly Invasion' when half a million American Airmen moved to wartime England to help win Victory over German tyranny. Against the background of a single night of tragedy that befell a small Essex village, it chronicles the sacrifices made by men of the US Army Air Forces 391st Bombardment Group flying B-26 Martin Marauders on crucial raids against the enemy; how the men adapted to their time in Essex; and a post-war legacy of friendship. A true-hero story that emerged when rural Blackmore rediscovered the fatal final flight of B-26 Baby Doll lll and resolved to ensure it would never be forgotten again.The author, Essex-born Neil McCarthy, is a national newspaper journalist.
