Описание: The Boeing B-29 Superfortress was not only the largest and most advanced US aircraft to see combat in World War II, it was also the most expensive weapons system of the war, even exceeding the cost of developing the atomic bomb—the weapon that ultimately would be delivered to Hiroshima and Nagasaki by a pair of B-29s in August 1945. Through a broad range of photos gathered from around the world, this book, the first of a two-volume series, chronicles the design, development, and World War II combat of the iconic Superfortress. The story of this historic aircraft is told through carefully researched photos, which are reproduced in remarkable clarity. Large, clear photos, coupled with descriptive and informative captions, unlock the secrets of this aircraft.

Описание: By the time the Americans began their aerial bombardment of Japan in 1944, both the JAAF and IJNAF were spent forces. What the Japanese did have though was the Ki-44 "Tojo". Armed with two 40 mm cannon, it was the most heavily armed and feared single-seat fighter to see action against the new American bomber, the B-29 Superfortress.
For the bomber crews, they had what they believed was their 'ace in hole': a fully armed B-29 carried four remotely operated gun turrets and a tail gunner's position, making it the world's most advanced self-defending bomber. In every respect the Ki-44 pilots were fighting a desperate battle. Many who made their mark did so using suicidal ramming attacks or "taiatari".
Illustrated with full colour artwork, this volume examines why the Ki-44 was unable to break up bomber formations conventionally during the Pacific War, and how its ramming tactics, while terrifying, graphically revealed Japan's inability to stop the B-29.

Автор: Li Xiaowei Название: The Superfortress in China: How the Chinese People Built Airfields for the B-29 Bomber, Rescued U.S. Airmen, and Defeated Japan ISBN: 1487800940 ISBN-13(EAN): 9781487800949 Издательство: Неизвестно Цена: 64330.00 T Наличие на складе: Невозможна поставка. Описание: Near the end of World War II, the United States decided to launch a strategic bombing of Japan with both conventional and atomic bombs, using the new B-29 Superfortress. The first strikes were to be carried out from nine airfields to be quickly built around the southwestern city of Chengdu in Sichuan Province. But the real story is how these airfields were built. By mobilizing 500,000 Chinese peasants and workers in three months under trying winter conditions, this incredible feat is largely unknown to the world, even in China. From December 1943, when the order was given to build the airfields, to April 1944 when the first B-29s arrived, this book tells the story of the amazing work done for the B-29s to begin their missions to bomb Japanese targets in Southeast Asia, Japanese-occupied Taiwan, and the home islands of Japan. After the capture of the Mariana Islands by the U.S., new bases for B-29s were constructed there and the work in Chengdu was effectively completed. With month-by-month detailed information of the 49 missions carried out, richly illustrated with historic photographs, and many original documents included, this book is a chronological record of the twelve-month operations of the Chinese people's cooperation with the U.S. 20th Army Air Force to defeat Japan aggression and end World War II.

Описание: This book, Boeing B-29 Superfortress Units of the Korean War 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 2, at that time the most advanced combat aircraft in the world, the B-29 was reclassified a medium bomber by the time North Korea attacked its southern neighbour in 1950. 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.

Описание: The Boeing B-29 Superfortress was the most advanced production aircraft in the world when it took to the air for the first time in September 1942. While most often remembered as the type of aircraft that dropped the first atomic bomb, and for its extensive use in bombing Japan during the latter stages of World War II, the B-29 also saw plenty of combat during the Korean War. This all-new edition of B-29 Superfortress In Action uses 248 vintage photographs, 90 of them in full color, to chronicle the history of this famed heavy bomber. Photos and detailed captions chart the development, production, use, and disposition of not only the XB-29, YB-29, B-29, B-29A, B-29B, and of course the famed Silverplate atomic bombers, but also notable variants such as the F-13, F-13A, SB-29, KB-29, EB-29, WB-29, P2B and the history-making X-1 carrier. Also included is coverage of the experimental XB-39 and XB-44 variants. Individual sections of the book explore the interior and armament of these bombers, as well as their production by Boeing, Martin, and Bell. Illustrated with 248 photographs. 88 pages.
