{detailed description}When the tide turned in the Second World War and the fight was taken back to the Third Reich, American bombers were at the forefront of the air action. They were crucial to the successful Allied counter-attack. The same aircraft were to bring Japanese expansionism to a halt and force that nation's surrender.
Having etched their name in the chronicles of air warfare, these aircraft became much loved and highly regarded; they have since been avidly studied and extensively modelled, and preserved examples continue to enthral huge audiences at air shows around the world.
In this illustrated history of the bombers, the air crew, the ground crew, and the momentous events which involved them all, Robert Dorr enables the present generation, many of whom were not born when these giants flew in enemy skies, to join with veterans of the conflict in reliving the daring days when Flying Fortresses, Marauders, Liberators and Superfortresses raided deep into German-occupied Europe or Japanese-held Pacific territory, supporting Allied advances, disrupting enemy movements, immobilizing industrial production and destroying the will of those nations to fight.
The illustrations feature the aircraft —including interior, cockpit and nose-art shots — the armaments and the personnel involved, many of whom have provided anecdotal copy for this outstanding study of these mighty machines.
