The World's Bombers

{detailed description}The bomber has existed in many forms. It has dropped its bombs while flying level at low and high altitudes; it has launched its bombs in screaming dives; it has launched torpedoes at ships, destroyed dams with bombs which skip across water, and it can now launch a bomb at a considerable distance from its target. This book describes on an international basis the true horizontal bomber and traces its entire history from the early wood and fabric biplane up to the sleek, all-metal high-altitude jet of today. The large Handley Page v/1500s readied to bomb Berlin in the First World War, the between-wars bombers of many nations, and the famous Lancaster, Flying Fortress and B-29 of the Second World War are all described. The development of the jet bomber of the past twenty-five years has been traced, and there is also a glance at the possible future of this highly specialised category of military aeroplane.
