In this bonus author interview, I sit down with Colonel Joseph Molyson Jr and discuss the second book in his series on World War Two: Air Battles Before D-Day: How Allied Airmen Crippled the Luftwaffe and German Army in France

In this groundbreaking analysis, retired Air Force Colonel Joseph T. Molyson reveals how a year of strategic bombing and aerial warfare created the conditions necessary for D-Day's success. Drawing on his thirty years of military intelligence experience, Molyson pieces together the complex puzzle of amphibious planning, airborne operations, and inter-Allied coordination that culminated in Operation Overlord. Key revelations include:
  • How the Allied victory in the Battle of the Atlantic enabled the crucial flow of American resources
  • The strategic bombing campaign's dual role in weakening both German industry and Luftwaffe capabilities
  • The intricate coordination between British night raids and American daylight bombing missions
  • Previously overlooked connections between air superiority and the success of the D-Day landings
Perfect for military history enthusiasts and World War II scholars alike, this meticulously researched account offers fresh insights into the aerial strategy that changed the course of history.
