The indispensable book on the B-17's is Black Thursday by Martin Caidin.
Havent read it. The Jablonski book covers the entire war. Develops the larger picture of how those mission came to be, and how they affected the strategy after they occurred.

I'll check it out, thanks for the tip.

Jablonski's book is mostly anecdotal. Don't miss the episode of Dogfights of Jay Zeamer's Medal of Honor mission in Old 666. That episode is called Long Odds I think.
