General Dale Smith's "Screaming Eagle" is a fascinating, if incomplete, look at his experiences as a World War II bomber group commander. The book centers around how he "turned around" the 384th Bomb Group (H), changing it from the red-haired stepchild of the 8th Air Force into a tough, well-integrated strike force. His tenure as group commander is still controversial with the few living veterans of the group, but there is no doubt the group's reputation underwent a transformation under his leadership. There are a few editorial fluffs and missteps, but this is a valuable addition to the untold story of a lesser-known fighting unit.
