When I first saw Atelier Kecay’s book on Captured Bf 109s (reviewed last month), I wondered just what their next subject could be. Well, they chose a subject that sorely needed to be done, and they have done it with style. Assembly Ships of the Mighty Eighth is an outstanding book from beginning to end, whether one is looking for written history, photographic records, or illustrations. The story of assembly ships is a fascinating one, and the authors have done an incredible amount of research to separate out these unique aircraft from the copious records of the Eighth Air Force. Often relegated to a footnote or a photo in amongst other bombers, these colorful aircraft served an important job, and it is exciting to see their story told.
