The United States Army Air Force (USAAF) came into its own during
World War II, building some of the premier fighters of the era.
American Fighter Aircraft of World War II is a detailed guide to
all the fighter aircraft types deployed by the USAAF and US Navy
from 1941 to 1945. Organised chronologically, this book includes
all-time greats, such as the highly- adaptable P-51 Mustang bomber
escort, the carrier-based F6F Hellcat – which outperformed the
legendary Japanese A6M Zero fighter – and the Lockheed P-38
Lightning, with its distinctive twin-boom design; as well as
lesser-known types, such as the Boeing P-26 Peashooter, the
high-altitude Republic P-43 Lancer, and the Lockheed P-80 Shooting
Star, the USAAF’s only operational jet fighter during the war.
The entries are accompanied by exhaustive captions and
specifications. 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 P-40 Warhawk
ground-attack variant, the twin-engined P-61 Black Widow
night-fighter, and the robust P-47 Thunderbolt fighter-bomber.
Illustrated with more than 100 authentic artworks with accurate
markings and camouflage, American Fighter Aircraft of World War II
is an essential reference guide for modellers and military aviation
enthusiasts.
