Reader reviews for B-29 Superfortress Units of the Korean War

From the publisher

This book is the story of a majestic bomber of the propeller era flying perilous combat missions against a sleek, nimble warplane of the jet age, the Soviet MiG-15. A very heavy bomber and a sky giant during World War II, at that time the B-29 was the most advanced combat aircraft in the world. By the time North Korea attacked its southern neighbour in 1950, thus starting the Korean War (1950-1953) the B-29 had been reclassified a medium bomber. Many of its crew members had fought their war and settled down to raise families and begin careers only to be recalled to fight another war on a distant Asian peninsula.

First line

In the early hours of Sunday, 25 June 1950, in darkness and driving rain, North Korean armed forces crossed the 38th Parallel at half-a-dozen locations.
