SynopsisAs you turn the pages of this book, you will see vintage photographs of more than 40 different bombers, dive bombers and fighter bombers. The photographers captured the aircraft in action, with their ground eco-systems and facing in flight challenges. The majority of the photographs have not been seen in decades. Some sample descriptions include a B-24 equipped with turbines or a B-24 painted to discourage Japanese suicide aircraft, the first B-52A being delivered and a diagram of how Boeing subcontracted elements of the B-17 to maximize production among others.You will gain a sense of the development that occurred in the field and see how many different bombers were needed during this 25 year evolution. America faced different enemy threats during WWII, Korea and the Cold War and addressed each with different technology. The first aircraft presented barely reached a 200 mph maximum speed but by 1960 American bombers were flying at Mach 2. These aircraft and their pilots maintained American Power into the age of intercontinental missiles.
