Description

Osprey Pub Co, 2009. New book, 80 pages, DUE24. The Fw 190 was one of the best air superiority aircraft of World War II, and when it first appeared over the Channel in 1941 it sent shockwaves through the Allied air commands. By 1944, these fighters had been up-gunned to serve as the front line of defence against the Allied bombing campaign. Although the Fw 190s were responsible for shooting down hundreds of Allied bombers, they met their match against the USAAF B-17 ‘Flying Fortress’. Capable of carrying 4,000 lbs of bombs and bristling with .50cal machine guns, the B-17 could sow death in every direction. Using brand-new artwork and first-hand accounts, this book recreates the deadly drama in the skies above Germany in the closing stages of the war. Contents: Introduction, Chronology, Design and development, The Strategic Situation, Technical Specifications, The Combatants, Combat, Statistics and Analysis, Conclusion, Further Reading.. Soft Cover. As New. 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall.
