ANGELS ZERO(ISBN=) 英文原版

　　Robert V. Brulle, who flew seventy ground support missions
with the 366th Fighter Group, links his daily experiences in the
cockpit not only with the battles in which he participated but also
with events in the wider European theater. Combining anecdotes from
his personal diary, research in US and German records, and
interviews with participants from both sides, Brulle details a
combat career that began just after D-Day, when he flew column
cover for Allied troops as they chased the German military out of
France. He then describes the brutal, six-week Hürtgen Forest
campaign, during which his fighter group lost 15 pilots and 18
aircraft. He also tells how the otherwise bitterly fought Battle of
the Bulge provided the 366th with an opportunity to successfully
engage 60 Luftwaffe airplanes in a dogfight directly over their
airfield.
　　Angels Zero combines both personal and historical detail to
vividly re-create a lesser-known aspect of the air war in
Europe.

　　Robert V. Brulle’s service in Word War II began a
fifty-five-year career in aviation. In 1957 he joined McDonnell
Aircraft as an aerodynamicist and also became an adjunct associate
professor of mechanical engineering at the University of Missouri
Graduate Engineering Center. Since his retirement in 1988, he has
published twelve articles on aviation and history.
