{detailed description}PRINCE OF WALES SUNK BY JAPANESE BOMBERS ! LUFTWAFFE BOMBS LONDON AGAIN ! THOUSAND-BOMBER RAID ON COLOGNE! BOMBERS LEAVE TOKYO IN FLAMES !
Such newspaper headlines as these were commonplace during the war, but what of the bomber aircraft that made these headlines? In this book William Green sets out to tell the full stories of the most famous of the bombers employed by Britain, the U.S.A., Germany, and Italy. A companion volume to the bestselling Famous Fighters of the Second World War and written with the same accuracy and wealth of detail, Famous Bombers is packed with hitherto unpublished information and rare photographs that will bring a gleam to the eye of aviation enthusiast, historian, expert, and layman alike. Among the bombers dealt with are the Mosquito, Lancaster, Wellington, He. I I I, Dornier 17, Junkers 87, Junkers 88, Fortress, Marauder, Mitchell, Liberator, and Savoia-Marchetti 79.
Famous Bombers contains a series of the photographically-accurate tone drawings of Gert \V. Heumann, many of them occupying two pages each, bearing the full operational finishes and markings in which the bombers served. In addition, numerous comparative line drawings provide a graphic and unique commentary on bomber development among the combatant powers.
