 The book was an instant success and has been translated into several languages.While continuing his farming, Freeman followed it up with a series of titles under the same banner, including "The Mighty Eighth War Diary", "The Mighty Eighth War Manual" and the "Mighty Eighth in Colour".His overall output of some 60 books also included works about the wartime Royal Air Force, individual aircraft studies, airfield histories and profiles of USAAF units – including the Boxted-based 56th Fighter Group of Freeman's youth.
