This book tells the story of the Martin B-26 Marauder, a much-maligned yet capable aircraft and its performance against one of the most controversial, mysterious and enigmatic units of the Luftwaffe, the Jadverband 44 (JV 44). It is a story that aims to set the record straight about the Marauder's combat performance as well as the desperate efforts of young German airmen to shoot it down in the final days of the war.

This is an in depth look at one of the last and defining air battles that took place at the end of WWII. The Battle over Bavaria took place in April of 1945 and was fought by the JV 44 and the Marauders of the 17th, 323rd , and 344th Bombardment Groups. The JV 44 was in Bavaria to defend the German jet aircraft production centers and the Marauders were there to bomb them.
