Mackay. The 1st Combat Bomb Wing (1CBW), a sub-unit of the 8th USAAF, created on 13 September 1943, was preceded first by the 1st Bomb Wing, and then the 101st Provisional Bomb Wing, which included the 91st BG as an element. By then, the 91st BG was joined by the 351st BG and 381st BG, with the 351st BG later displaced by the 398th BG. The operational experience of these units virtually spanned the entire 33 months of the "Mighty Eighth's" existence. 240 pages, 302 photos, 8½"x 11", hardcover.
