3.0 out of 5 starsCompetent account of two great WWII aircraft
By Edison McIntyre VINE VOICE on June 8, 2005
Format: Paperback
This is the only book I'm aware of that examines the development of these two famous U.S. medium bombers in the same volume. However, readers looking for war stories about the exploits of the men who flew the Mitchell and the Marauder in World War II are likely to be disappointed, as Mendenhall concentrates mainly on the technical aspects of the craft.

That's the strong point of his narrative, but readers unfamiliar with aviation technology and jargon might find some of his detailed descriptions of the intricacies of landing gear and wing assemblies hard to follow, if not downright boring. For the more technically oriented, however, these are the strongest chapters in the book, and while Mendenhall is not a particularly vivid writer, he does a decent job in making his technical descriptions intelligible and easy to follow.

The historical material on the design, testing, manufacture, and deployment of the B-25 and B-26 also is handled well and thoroughly. For those who are interested, Mendenhall painstakingly details the different design changes that each plane underwent -- e.g., the transition of the Mitchell from a high-level bomber to a low-altitude attack plane (some equipped with a 75mm cannon, no less!), and the initial difficulties with the Marauder's "stubby" wings. After many operational accidents the bomber's wings were extended by six feet, which helped make it a less unforgiving plane to fly.

Mendenhall gives a general description of the deployment of the aircraft during WWII, listing the major theaters in which they were used as well as many of the USAAF and other units to which the planes were assigned. (The British Royal Air Force and the Soviet Union each received roughly 900 Mitchells during the war, and many other air forces also used the plane.Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsWhat I liked about this book
By WJ Moore on June 8, 2012
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
"Deadly Duo: The B-25 and B-26 in WW II" covered the development and some of the characteristics of both types. The book has some unusually interesting multi-view drawings of the significant models of both aircraft. This book has the look of a volume that would have been released in the late 1940's. There's not much of the fighting history that personalizes such aircraft for the enthusiast. The book is good basic information on our key medium bombers of WW II.
