Prolific Australian aviation author Stewart Wilson brings his extensive knowledge of aircraft to this overview of Boeing B-17, B-29 and Lancaster heavy bombers. The Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress became known for bearing the brunt of the US Air Force's campaign against Germany in World War Two; the versatile Avro Lancaster was the best British bomber of the war and could carry bigger bombs than any other aircraft of the era; and the Boeing B-29 is best remembered as the bomber that ended the war with Japan. Wilson examines each of these mighty aircraft in detail. Item #5110
