I just got this great review at Amazon from my new good friend, James R. Benn.
Thanks much Judith, for turning me on to these books.
Clean Sweep tells the history of the Eighth Air Force Fighter Command in the European Theater during WWII. While there is enough historical data and aircraft development detail to satisfy the most informed reader, Tom Cleaver also tells the stories of individual pilots. He carefully weaves their narrative into the larger framework of how the Mighty Eighth approached establishing air superiority in the skies above Europe. These first-hand accounts, representing combatants from both sides, paint a realistic—sometimes terrifying—picture of what pilots and aircrew faced on a daily basis. Highly recommended.
—James R Benn, author of Proud Sorrows and other Billy Boyle WWII mysteries.

I know how fabulous it feels when someone whose work you already admire offers you spontaneous praise. and that goes at least double when that praise is as on the money as this particular praise was.
good for you, Tom.
I recently read the first book in the Billy Boyle series, and I enjoyed it immensely. I liked Clean Sweep a lot too.
