Description

"Air power was primarily used on bombing missions where enemy supply dumps or troop concentrations were located, and they were very effective"

TLS, one page, 7.25 x 10.5, personal letterhead, August 3, 1966. Letter to Robert E. Klein, in part: "As for the question of the reason of the value of aircraft during the Meuse-Argonne offensive; the air power was primarily used on bombing missions where enemy supply dumps or troop concentrations were located, and they were very effective. I remember on one occasion there were approximately three hundred Allied bombing planes in mass formation went in behind the German lines and were escorted by Allied fighter aircraft. In other words, there were French, English and American planes of all types involved." In fine condition.
