Battles of World War II
The Stukas screaming down
from the skies in the van of
Hitler's Blitzkrieg proclaimed a
new era in aerial warfare. Along
with the Dornier bombers and
airborne stormtroops, they
broached new concepts of the
use of aircraft in war. And less
than a year after the invasion of
Poland unleashed these new
tactics, the fate of the free
world hung precariously on the
performance of Britain's
Hurricanes and Spitfires, and on
the skill and daring of the men
who flew them.
But even with the Battle of
Britain fought and won, the race
for command of the air was only
beginning. The Superfortresses
and jet aircraft of 1945 were to
make the sophisticated new
warplanes of 1939 seem almost
as obsolete as their predecessors
of World War I.
Here, in expert accounts and
first hand experiences, we bring
you the full epic story of the
warplanes of World War II, and
the memories of some of the
men who flew them—illustrated
with a superb combination of
action photos and detailed
drawings.
John Batchelor, who
illustrated this book, has won
a richly deserved reputation as
one of the most outstanding
artists in his field.
