Book ID/图书代码： 03890014B73951
English Summary/英文概要： WW II airmen of all ranks speak on aspects of their personal experiences: the missions and the planes they flew, their enemies, the places they saw and the people they met, their fears and leadership, and the aerial brotherhood that sustained them. A first rate history of WWII aviation in Europe and the Pacific.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： “从美国年轻一代的角度来看，这只是一场从训练营到战斗任务：飞行员，投弹手，导航员和欧洲和太平洋地区所有战斗部队的炮手。这部著作生动描绘了1941年至1945年的空中战争。。”—Craig L. Symonds, 《World War II at Sea》作者《逝者和那些即将消逝的》和《九月的希望》的作者John C. McManus，揭示了从第一次在欧洲上空的混战，到最后一次在太平洋上空的神风敢死队袭击，揭示了第二次世界大战的恐怖和凯旋。
这本富有洞察力的编年史带读者深入了解了美国战斗机飞行员和轰炸机机组人员的经历，他们是令人难以置信的各色人等，在全球各地近四年的战争中，有超过12万人伤亡，超过4万人的阵亡。
他们的故事横跨整个世界，一直延伸到欧洲和太平洋战区的每一个角落。勘探的飞机和驾驶它们的飞行员一样，各式各样、坚韧和具有传奇性——从顽强的重型战马B-17飞行堡垒到时髦的、致命的P-51野马战斗机。
在《致命的天空》一书中，历史学家 John C. McManus超越了人们熟悉的空中英雄故事，捕捉到了美国飞行员在每次任务中面对死亡时的景象和声音、内心所经历的折磨和恐惧、澎湃激动和痛苦。在这项重要而深入的研究中，麦克马纳斯揭示了二战期间空战和死亡的真实一面。(Sandy)
