Douglas XB-19: An Illustrated History of America's Would-Be Intercontinental Bomber
ISBN: 9780764352324 / Angielski / Twarda / 2017 / 128 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. In 1935, the intent of the Army Air Corps was to build a potential intercontinental bomber, a "Guardian of the Hemisphere"; they granted Donald Douglas a contract to build the world's largest bomber. Over the past 75 years, there have only been a few magazine articles on the gigantic Douglas XB-19 bomber, usually showing it in photos dwarfing the aircraft around it. Since the XB-19 project was top secret and there was only one example, there is little information remaining for researchers. William Wolf presents this enigmatic bomber, a "Flying Laboratory" that was the precursor to America's...

Death Rattlers: Marine Squadron Vmf-323 Over Okinawa
ISBN: 9780764309533 / Angielski / Twarda / 1999 / 216 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 30 dni roboczych. Nearly every World War II fighter squadron that flew in Europe has had its history chronicled. Other than Pappy Boyington's famous VMF-214 Black Sheep, little has been written about Marine Corps squadrons in World War II. The contribution of VMF-223, the Death Rattlers, over Okinawa in the Spring of 1945 is virtually unknown. In two months there, the squadron became the top-scoring unit of any service with 124 1/2 victories and produced 12 aces, the most for one tour of any Marine squadron. The squadron downed 24 3/4 Japanese aircraft twice in its tour, the most for a single Marine squadron...
