Название: Bringing the Thunder: The Missions of a World War II B-29 Pilot in the Pacific Автор: Gordon Bennett Robertson Jr. Издательство: Stackpole Books Год: 2006 Формат: pdf, epub, djvu Страниц: 332 Размер: 12,07 Мб Язык: английский
The B-29 bomber was made to soar in thin, cold air, dropping its massive bomb load from heights so great that the crews might never see their targets through the clouds below. That was just fine with Ben Robertson, pilot in command of one of the big four engine bombers hammering Japan to its knees in a nonstop bombing campaign in the Pacific. When General LeMay ordered the B-29s to switch tactics from daylight, high-altitude bombing runs to nighttime, low-level runs, Ben's attitude changed. What was once seen as simply dangerous--bombing Japan--now seemed a whole lot more like suicide.

Название: The Red Air Force at War: Barbarossa and the Retreat to Moscow Автор: Drabkin Artem Издательство: Casemate Publishers; Pen & Sword Aviation Год: 2007 Формат: epub, pdf Страниц: 158 Размер: 62,52 Мб Язык: английский
The onset of war in the summer of 1941 was a disaster for the Soviet Air Force. In a few weeks, faced by the onslaught of the Luftwaffe, most of the Soviet frontline aircraft were destroyed, and the casualty rate among the pilots was cripplingly high. Yet the surviving few gained precious battle experience and they formed the core of the fighter force that turned the tables on the Germans and eventually won air superiority over the Eastern Front.

Название: An Ace of the Eighth: An American Fighter Pilot's Air War in Europe Автор: Norman J. Fortier Издательство: Presidio Press Год: 2003 Формат: pdf Страниц: 359 Размер: 47,67 Мб Язык: английский
When the skies of Europe blazed with the fiercest air battles in history, fighter pilots like Norman “Bud” Fortier were in the thick of it, flying four hundred miles an hour at thirty thousand feet, dodging flak and dueling with Nazi aces. In their role as “escorts” to Flying Fortresses and Liberators, the fighter squadrons’ ability to blast enemy aircraft from the sky was key to the success of pinpoint bombing raids on German oil refineries, communication and supply lines, and other crucial targets.
