In the COMBAT AIRCRAFT series. Covering the exploits of the B-24 in the south-west Pacific during World War II. Includes 30 original artworks and, black and white scale drawings of all major variants. With text relating the personal experiences of the crews in the battle over the Pacific.
Ever present in the Pacific from Pearl Harbor to VJ-Day, the B-24 Liberator proved to be the staple heavy bomber of the campaign.
From its ignominious beginnings in the Allied rout in the Philippines and the Dutch East Indies, this illustrated volume explores how the bomber weathered the Japanese storm with a handful of bomb groups, which played a crucial role in checking the enemy's progress firstly in New Guinea, and then actively participating in the 'island hopping' campaign through the south-west Pacific.
