US Air Power, 1945-1990 Volume 2 Bombers 1945-1949
Part 2: Bombers 1945-1949 Production and Type Histories
(Author) David BakerThis second part Volume 2 continues the detailed examination of the development of the US bomber force in the years immediately following the Second World War. A new era of weapon and aircraft technologies demanded new aircraft capable of delivering atomic weapons deep into the heart of the USSR. This volume examines the development of the new engines needed for a fleet of aircraft ever-growing in size and complexity and constantly pushing the development envelope. This volume also provides a detailed type history of the aircraft that would enter full production, along with those that while only progressing to the design or prototype stages nevertheless proved important in the overall progress of this new post-war generation of land-based bomber aircraft designed for the independent USAF. This volume is richly illustrated throughout with original photographs from the period, along with specially commissioned colour artworks.
