Fortareata Ploiesti. Campania pentru distrugerea petrolului lui Hitler

O relatare fascinanta a sustinutei campanii de bombardamente dintre 1 august 1943 si 19 august 1944 impotriva complexului de rafinarii petroliere de la Ploiesti, scrisa de un pilot de vanatoare din Marine Corps, veteran a 37 de misiuni de lupta aeriana.

Campania asidua – zguduitorul raid la joasa inaltime din 1943 si toate celelalte care i-au urmat – este o poveste cu implicatii vaste, printre cele mai importante din al Doilea Razboi Mondial si relatata pentru prima data de Jay Stout. In Fortareata Ploiesti, autorul prezinta intamplarile unor oameni obisnuiti din ambele tabere, prinsi in circumstante extraordinare. Studiul sau se bazeaza pe ani de cercetare si interviuri, condensati intr-o relatare unica si exceptionala, care aduce la viata experientele terifiante prin care au trecut echipajele de zbor, subliniind curajul lor incredibil si rezultatele militare ale infruntarii sangeroase, cu intregul efort plasat in contextul istoric cuvenit.

O carte remarcabila, pentru cititorul interesat de al Doilea Razboi Mondial sau de istoria aviatiei.

A fascinating narration about the sustained bombing campaign between August 1st 1943 and August 14th 1944 against the complex of oil refineries from Ploieşti was written by a pilot of Marine Corps, a veteran with 37 accomplished missions.

The unceasing campaign – the 1943 raid at low height and those that followed – is a story with vast implications, one of the most important of the Second World War, revealed for the first time by Jay Stout. In Fortress Ploiesti the author describes ordinary people from both sides of the barricade living in extraordinary circumstances. The study is based on research and interviews that form a unique and exceptional narration that brings to life the terrific experiences of aircrews.

It’s a remarkable book for a reader interested in the Second World War or the history of aviation.
