TUMULT IN THE CLOUDS 

by

GOODSON

PUBLISHED ; HARROP

1st EDITION 1990

Goodson’s own story is fascinating  enough. Torpedoed on the first day of  the War, he joined the RAF as one of  the first US volunteers. He was then  engaged in continuous combat in  Hurricanes, Spitfires, Thunderbolts  and Mustangs, downing 32 enemy  aircraft before himself being shot down  destroying German rocket planes on  the ground at Peenemunde.  But this book is much more. There are  first-hand, intimate stories of some of  the fabulous pilots who flew with  Goodson in the RAF Eagle Squadrons  and the US 4th Fighter Group – “Fourth  but First”. Characters such as Don  Blakeslee, Don Gentile, Johnny  Godfrey, Kid Hofer, Mike Sobanski,  all are here, all the Aces of the Fighter  war.  By early 1944, Colonel Goodson was  one of the most famous squadron  commanders in the Eighth Air Force.  His entire narrative is distinguished  by his keen observation and his  independent mind.
