In the history of aviation the second world war represents a classic period in the refinement and perfection of the propeller driven military flying machine. The twelve aircraft featured in this book, designed and built amidst the heat and urgency of war as formidable weapons of destruction, were also marvels of modern technology embodying all that men would know about flying until the appearance of the turbine engine.
The story of these aircraft is told by an international team of expert aviation writers, and covers their design and production, specialized models and variants, their tactical deployment, the battles they fought in, and the exploits of their pilots. At the heart of the book are the magnificent illustrations of premier aircraft artist Rikyu Watanabe, including brilliant full-colour aircraft profiles, detailed interior cutaways, control and weapons systems schematics, and actual squadron insignia. THe painstaking exactness of these paintings and drawings make this book a must for military and aviation historians, aircraft buffs, and model builders.
