作者以严肃的写作态度、巧妙的艺术构思、洒脱洗练的文笔，真实而生动地再现了几次重大战役的惊天动地的场面、当年的战地飞行生活、鲜为人知的部队内部的错综复杂的人际关系、宏伟壮观的空战画面、乡土气息浓郁的风俗人情。作者笔下的众多人物，个个形象鲜明，栩栩如生，一言一行，无不如闻其声，如见其人；变化万千的战地景象，无不使人有身临其境之感。每一篇文字，都能使你跟着它踏上瞬息万变、险象环生的战场，跟着它一起升空作战，跟着它苦思冥想克敌制胜的计策，跟着它担忧，跟着它欢笑。篇篇扣人心弦，处处引人入胜。没有亲身体验、文学造诣浅薄的人，是写不出如此赏心悦目、感人至深的巨著来的。

1944年，在败局已定的情况下，德国空军并没有放弃最后的垂死挣扎，他们与盟国空军的昼间殊死角力直到战争的最后阶段依然规模浩大而又异常惨烈，1945年初，当被称为“最后的王牌”的德军Me262喷气战斗机第一次成规模地出现在天空，以其惊人的速度向盟军飞行员发起攻击时，曾在盟军空军中引起不小的惊慌。但制空权已无可换回地丧失，在铺天盖地的盟军战机团团围剿之下，喷气战机也无力回天。
《决死天空:二战末期德国昼间空战》作者历经多年时间，广泛收集了有关这场空战最后阶段的各种文献及当事人的回忆录，在占有丰富的德文第一手资料的基础上，生动而具体地描述、刻画了德军普通昼间战斗机部队，以及当时最先进的喷气式战斗机部队抵抗盟国空军实施昼间空中绞杀战这个生死大搏斗的最后过程。

中国的抗日战争应追溯到1931年“9·18”事变，整个抗战共经历14年。1937年7月7日的卢沟桥枪响，使中国共产党与中国国民党在民族危难之际，摒弃前嫌，共同抗战，揭开了全民族惨烈激昂的全面抗战的序幕。本书以时间和战斗区域为序，全面、翔实地记录了中国空军视死如归、 全力以赴在空中抗击日本侵略者，最后取得抗战全面胜利的事迹。抗战中，中国空军将士不畏强敌，战事惨烈，足以为后人铭记。
本书由我国著名航空史专家陈应明等人历时3年编写，应是国内较为全面、权威的记录抗日战争中空战历史的专著。本书适合广大航空史研究人员、解放军指战员、航空爱好者和军事爱好者阅读。

Originally published anonymously in 1941, this was the first and finest story of a fighter pilot in World War Two. Based on the author's personal journal, it is the classic account of the part played by RAF No.1 Squadron in the air battles that preceded the fall of France in 1940. Beginning on the day the squadron arrived in France, the book recounts the unnerving lull of the 'Sitzkrieg' and the sudden crescendo of violence and crushing fatigue of almost non-stop combats during the 'Blitzkrieg'. Imbued with the Great War traditions of chivalry, Richey and his comrades accorded the enemy fighter squadron mercy and respect, until the disillusion of witnessing the Luftwaffe's callous attacks on helpless refugees changed all that. It was then that the skills and elan of the RAF's premier fighter squadron were turned to even greater account, and the result was a remarkable combat record. By the time they withdrew from France on 18 June 1940, No.1 Squadron had destroyed a total of 155 enemy aircraft, 114 of them in only ten days - for the loss of three pilots killed, two wounded, and one prisoner of war. As Paul Richey wrote: "It seems - and I believed it was - a miracle."

This is the sixth monograph in the series The U.S. Navy and the Vietnam War. It covers aircraft carrier activity during Operation Rolling Thunder in the war. Operation Rolling Thunder was one of the longest sustained aerial bombing campaigns in history. And it would be a failure. The U.S. Navy proved essential to the conduct of Rolling Thunder. Exploiting the inherent flexibility and mobility of naval forces, the Seventh Fleet operated with impunity for three years off the coast of North Vietnam. The success with which the Navy executed the later Operation Linebacker campaign against North Vietnam in 1972 revealed how much the service had learned from and exploited the Rolling Thunder experience of 1965–1968.
The book includes several photographs with backgrounds of key aircraft used as part of Operation Rolliing Thunder during the Vietnam War.
