4.0 out of 5 stars Famous Bombers of WW2 parade, September 1, 2002

This review is from: Famous Bombers of the Second World War (Hardcover)

Being already published in 1959, and again in 1960 and 1975, this book was for years one of the standard references about WW2 bomber aircraft and a companion volume to "Famous Fighters of the Second World War". Since 1975 however, there has also substantially more been published about WW2 bombers than between 1945 and 1975. These two books however still give an excellent overview of the main types that flew with all sides during the last World War and were among the first to do so. The mere fact that you can still buy them shows how good the concept -and content!- still is. Modern readers might be dissapointed by the lack of colour though.
