In reviewing reports of air combat from Spain, China and the early
stages of the war in Europe, the US Army Air Corps called for
heavier armor and armament for its bomber fleet, including the
addition of a tail turret. While Japan tried to counter with their
own heavy fighters, their inability to produce them in any number
meant that they were forced to face the bomber threat with the
nimble, but under-armed Ki-43 "Oscar". While severely outgunned,
the Japanese learned to use their greater maneuverability to
exploit the small weakness in bomber defenses. This book tells the
story of the clash in the skies over the Pacific, as the Japanese
fought desperately against the coming tide of the American bomber
offensive.
