However, many books are written to prove a particular point. While you do get a lot of detailed information about dive bombing operations in WW II, the main point of this book is to argue that the RAF was criminally stupid in rejecting the dive bomber in favour of strategic bombing. Your appreciation of the book will depend on your interest in the question and whether you think the author's arguments are convincing. ( ) keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen
This is the incredible history of the dive bomber told from both official records and eyewitness accounts. It tears away the many myths and misrepresentations that surrounded this type of warplane and presents a truly original and detailed history, from the first true combat dive bombing by an RAF pilot in 1917 to the last stirring wartime actions. Interviews with the pilots who flew the combat missions in dive bombing aircraft of all the combatant nations give unique first-hand eyewitness viewpoints on many of the major actions and methods employed. From a detailed description of what it was like to fly the very first dive-bomber missions into Poland on 1st September, 1939; through equally enthralling accounts of British attacks on German warships during the Norwegian campaign; Stuka missions against the French and British forces in May and June, 1940, and on throughout the war. Some well known aircraft types include the Curtiss Helldiver, Aichi D3A1, Blackburn Skua and the infamous Junkers Ju 87 'Stuka'. Keine Bibliotheksbeschreibungen gefunden. |
