BOMBS AWAY!

Often overlooked by enthusiasts and media alike in favor of the usually more glamorous fighters and interceptors, bomber and attack aircraft are arguably even more important to the outcome of modern battles. Jim Winchester's slim 110-page "Bombers of the 20th Century" finally shines the spotlight on these frequently neglected planes, ranging from the Depression-era Keystone biplane to the feared Nazi Stuka dive bomber of WWII all the way up to the Russian supersonic giant Blackjack and the feared American F-117 "stealth fighter" and more. Each aircraft is given a full-page entry with two photos, a specs chart, and development and operational narrative. Recommended to any afficianado of military aviation.
