4.0 out of 5 stars
Interesting and different.,
By
This review is from: Bombing Twins: Allied Medium Bombers (Osprey Classic Aircraft) (Paperback)
This was an interesting book, but not quite what I expected. About 75% of the book is devoted to text and photos of twin-engined bombers AFTER they have been retired from active service, i.e., as restored "warbirds". There is a useful (but short) review of each plane during its service in WWII, followed by how some were saved and restored, with some breathtaking color photos of the restoration, most in flight.
Although this was not what I was expecting (a straight history of these bombers in the war), I still enjoyed reading the book and learned quite a bit from it. The text is well-written and the photos, as noted, were strking. Perhaps the most interesting part of the book were the descriptions and photos of a recreation of Doolittle's 1942 Tokyo raid, this time in the 1990's using two restored B-25's flying off the carrier Ranger. I have no idea this had occurred and really enjoyed reading about that. All in all, a nice addition to a WWII flying buff's library.
