Despite the obvious risks, World War II was

actually well covered by military and civil-

ian photographers. They landed on D-Day,

they marched with the soldiers, they sailed

with the sailors —and they flew with the

bombers over Nazi Germany. Images col-

lected by these "professionals" were taken

during real missions, and while the photo-

graphs tend to be reasonably sharp, the com-

positions look hurried. They were. There

ABOUT THE PHOTOGRAPHS

was precious little time to compose a shot

when the plane beside you burst into flames.

A second type of photography in this book

is technically called GASP footage—an

acronym for Gun Alignment and Sighting

Photography, meaning gun camera footage.

Such photography came from the smaller

fighter planes and was taken by automatic

cameras, almost all of it in bursts of just a

few seconds in length.

This book contains one of the most com-

prehensive collections of images from the

air war over occupied Europe and Nazi Ger-

many ever published. Altogether, they form

a pictorial essay of World War II that you

will not soon forget.
