Description: Please read item descriptionFAMOUS BOMBERS OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR(WILLIAM GREEN)Prince of Wales sunk by Japanese bombers! Luftwaffe bombs London again! Thousand bomber raid on Cologne! Bombers leave Tokyo in flames! Such newspaper headlines as these were commonplace during the war, but what of the bomber aircraft that made these headlines? In this book William Green sets out to tell the full stories of the most famous of the bombers employed by Britain, the USA, Germany, and Italy.A companion volume to the best-selling ‘Famous Fighters of the Second World War’ and written with the same accuracy and wealth of detail, ‘Famous Bombers’ is packed with hitherto unpublished information and rare photographs that will bring a gleam to the eye of aviation enthusiast, historian, expert, and layman alike. Among the bombers dealt with are the Mosquito, Lancaster, Wellington, He. III, Dornier 17, Junkers 87, Junkers 88, Fortress, Marauder, Mitchell, Liberator, and Savoia-Marchetti 79.‘Famous Bombers’ contains a series of the photographically-accurate tone drawings of Gert W. Heumann, many of them occupying two pages each, bearing the full operational finishes and markings in which the bombers served. In addition, numerous comparative line drawings provide a graphic and unique commentary on bomber development among the combatant powers. This 1959 1st edition hardback publication is in good overall condition. The pages are tightly bound and are free from tears, creases, and significant marks other than some age-related discolouration to the page edges and foxing to the inside flaps of the dustjacket and the blank flyleaves. The dustjacket displays some rubbing, chipping, and light knocks to the edges and corners but has more recently been protected with a polythene sleeve (see photograph). The book runs to 134 pages (24.5cm x 18cm) and is very well illustrated throughout. Included are several relevant newspaper cuttings.
