Product Information

"Hell Hawks"! is the story of the band of young American fighter pilots, and their gritty, close-quarters fight against Hitlers vaunted military. The "Hell Hawks" were the men and machines of the 365th Fighter Group. Beginning just prior to D-Day, June 6, 1944, the groups young pilots (most were barely twenty years old and fresh from flight training in the United States) flew in close support of Eisenhowers ground forces as they advanced across France and into Germany. They flew the rugged, heavily armed P-47 Thunderbolt, aka the Jug. Living in tents amid the cold mud of their front-line airfields, the 365ths daily routine had much in common with that of the G.I.s they supported. Their war only stopped with the Nazi surrender on May 8, 1945. During their year in combat, the Hell Hawks paid a heavy price to win the victory. Sixty-nine pilots and airmen died in the fight across the continent. The Groups 1,241 combat missions -- the daily confrontation of sudden, violent death -- forged bonds between these men that remain strong sixty years later. This book will tell their story, the story of the Hell Hawks.

  • A major reason Germany lost!

    I read a lot of books on WW II, as a history buff and memorabilia collector, it is a fascinating subject.. I thought I had read most everything regarding the fighting, but this gave a me a new insight into one of the little known facts of the war. Hell Hawks was the name given to one of the most destructive units to fight German ground forces. Learning from Germany's Blitzkrieg tactics, these stone cold and brave men flew the P-47 "Jabo". The Republic P-47 was the largest and most produced of America's fighter aircraft, and their pilots loved them. This book puts you in the cockpit with them as they flew treetop level at more than 400 mph on strafing runs, and saw golf ball size white tracers coming at them; some got hit. I had a preconceived thought regarding the P-47 as a fighter, ...
