American Bomber Aircraft of World War II: 1941-45

Organized chronologically, this book includes all the great types of the era, such as the B-17 Flying Fortress, which led the daylight bombing campaign against German industrial targets
the B-24 Liberator, which carried out the famous raid on the Ploesti oil refinery in Romania in 1943
the rugged Grumman TBF Avenger torpedo bomber, flown by US Navy pilots at the Battle of Midway in that key turning point in the Pacific War
and the B-29 Superfortress, the aircraft most responsible for degrading Japan's ability to wage war with its constant aerial attacks throughout 1944 and 1945. The guide is illustrated with profile artworks and three-views, as well as two-page dynamic artworks of some of the more famous aircraft in service, such as the highly adaptable B-25 Mitchell, which served in every theater in a variety of roles
the Douglas Dauntless SBD naval scout plane
and the Martin B-26 Marauder, one of the fastest medium bombers of its era.
