 Название: Blown to Hell: America's Deadly Betrayal of the Marshall Islanders
Автор: Walter Pincus
Издательство: Diversion Books
Год: 2021
Страниц: 416
Язык: английский
Формат: epub
Размер: 10.1 MB
Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Walter Pincus exposes the darkest secret in American nuclear history―sixty-seven nuclear tests in the Marshall Islands that decimated a people and their land. The most important place in American nuclear history are the Marshall Islands―an idyllic Pacific paradise that served as the staging ground for over sixty US nuclear tests. It was here, from 1946 to 1958, that America perfected the weapon that preserved the peace of the post-war years. It was here―with the 1954 Castle Bravo test over Bikini Atoll―that America executed its largest nuclear detonation, a thousand times more powerful than Hiroshima. | |

Автор: Martin Bowman
Издательство: Osprey Publishing
Год: 2003

Размер: 57,3 МБ

The B-17 saw combat in the Pacific from the moment a formation of these bombers arrived at Pearl Harbor during the midst of the 7 December 1941 Japanese attack. By the end of World War II (1939-1945), SB-17 rescue craft were saving combat crews in the waters off Japan. This book reveals why, to the public, the Flying Fortress was better known than the Spitfire, the Boeing 747, or Lindbergh's Spirit of St Louis.
