Skyways to Berlin: With the American Flyers in England (1943) By Major John M. Redding and Captain Harold I. Leyshon
 
To an observer or a reporter, the vantage point is important. It is also important to his audience. The authors of Skyways to Berlin have been on the scene with the Eighth Air Force since almost the beginning of its operation in the all-important European theater. They saw, they recorded, they "sweated out" with the rest of us those lean, chill winter months in 1942; they were a part of the growing organization that saw our men and planes demonstrate early in 1943 that Hitler's so-called "fortress of Europe" does not have an impregnable ceiling; they saw the Eighth Air Force extend its daylight invasion into the Ruhr and other vital areas of the Reich in the summer of 1943 - the first blazing of a skyway that will reach to Berlin and beyond. The book was written by these two officers on their own time after long hours of official duty, not for profit, but because of the great admiration they hold for our fighting men. This was clear to me as I read their book. Recorded close to the scene and from the heart, it catches the spirit of the Eighth Air Force and the men who make it a superior combat team." - Ira C. Eaker, Major General, Commanding, U.S. Army Eighth Air Force, from the Foreword.
