Julie Klam: World War II Chronicles-Airwar!, Gebunden

Klappentext

World War II was the greatest conflict of the 20th century. Fought on every continent except Antarctica and across every ocean, it was truly a "world war." Like many other wars, over time it evolved. Modern technology and strategic advancements changed the rules of combat forever, allowing for widespread attacks from the air, the ground, and the sea.

The war encompassed the feats of extraordinary heroes and the worst villains imaginable, with thrilling triumphs and heartrending tragedies. AIR WAR! presents aviation's important role in the battles of World War II, from the "gallant few" lionized by Winston Churchill after the German blitzkrieg to the Allied squadrons that swept the skies clear of Axis aircraft to the aviators who dropped the atomic bombs on Japan.
