The United States built the best strategic bombers of World War II,
and by the end of the conflict America’s bombers dominated the
skies in both Europe and the Pacific. American Bomber Aircraft of
World War II is a detailed guide to all the bombers deployed by the
USAAF and US Navy from 1941 to 1945. Organised 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 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 their 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 theatre
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. Illustrated with more than 100 authentic artworks with
accurate markings and camouflage, American Bomber Aircraft of World
War II is an essential reference guide for modellers and military
aviation enthusiasts.
