This is an illustrated guide shown in over 100 images. It is an
engaging history of the Mustang and Flying Fortress, from their
beginnings and early exploits through to the final battles and
campaigns of World War II. It includes complete technical
specifications detailing dimensions, weights, power, performance
and armament. It features over 100 photographs of Mustangs and
Flying Fortresses in action, as well as cutaway diagrams showing
the interior constructions of these historic combat aircraft. The
North American P-51 Mustang and the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress
were among many outstanding combat planes of World War II. The
first Mustang was designed using an American airframe linked to the
first-rate Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, while the most famous B-17
was the Memphis Belle, the first aircraft to complete a full tour
of 25 operational missions. This handbook details the design and
development of these classic planes, together with personal
accounts from the pilots who flew them. Wartime photographs and
cutaway diagrams accompany the expertly written text, making this
an essential volume for every aircraft enthusiast.
