AIR COMMAND: Fighters and Bombers of World War II by Jeffrey L. Ethell. GOOD++ hardcover reprint, 1997. A combination of two outstanding books, "Bomber Command," the story of American bombers in WWII, and "Fighter Command," the story of the American fighters that escorted them. Each covers the operations of the US Army Air Forces in the European and Mediterranean Theaters in first-person accounts and anecdotes as well as original WWII color photography of the events and planes. Excellent reference.
