Greenwich, Conn.: Bison, 1983. 64 pp, 4to (11" H). "The B-29 was a larger and more devastating weapon than even its predecessor and namesake, the B-17 Flying Fortress. Developed during World War II by Boeing, this American superbomber could carry a much heavier load and fly over greater distances than any aircraft then in existence. This feature became particularly important during the Pacific War, when American aircraft had to fly well over a thousand miles and back to devastate the Home Islands of Japan. The apotheosis of the Superfortress came when it was chosen to carry the atomic bombs dropped over Hiroshima and Nagasaki in August 1945. In later versions it was used by the Americans during the Korean War with great effect. The technical changes and use of this massive bomber is told brilliantly by John Pimlott of the Royal Military Academy Sandhurst. Richly illustrated with color and monochrome photographs as well as color sideviews and a full color cutaway drawn by Mike Badrocke, this book will be a valuable addition to the libary of aviation enthusiasts." Interior - clean and tight with no previous ownership marks. Exterior - very minor edgewear.. Reprint.. Soft Cover. Near Fine. Illus. by Mike Badrocke..
