The Pacific Profiles series presents the most accurate WWII
aircraft profiles to date of Japanese & Allied aircraft in the
Pacific theatre. Volume Three illustrates, by squadron, USAAF Fifth
Air Force A-20 series medium bombers operating in New Guinea from
July 1942 to the end of 1944. In this distant theatre, a dozen
USAAF A-20 squadrons from the 3rd, 312th and 417th Bombardment
Groups, joined by No. 22 Squadron, RAAF, used many variants of the
A-20, mainly as strafers. Squadron insignia, camouflage, heraldry,
nose-art and command markings varied significantly between
squadrons, giving a wide variety of colour schemes. The profiles,
based on photos, diaries and other wide-ranging documents, are
accompanied by brief histories of each squadron, the development of
respective heraldry and information on each aircraft profiled. The
author, Michael Claringbould, is world-renown for his expertise in
respect to the A-20 in the Pacific, stemming from his direct
involvement in locating and recovering one from New Guinea in 1984.
These rare profiles, many appearing for the first time, accurately
portray the A-20 during this captivating timeframe of the South
Pacific air war.
