Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Although far better known for their exploits over the war torn skies of Germany and Italy, the USAAF's premier fighters, the P-47 and P-51, also made significant contributions to the victory against Japan from 1943 onwards. This book relates the appearance of the Allison-engined A-36As and P-51As over Rangoon from India in November 1943, the 1st Air Commando Group in China, P-47s over the jungles of New Guinea in 1943, escorting B-29s on long-range bombing sorties against the Home Islands in 1944-45 and elsewhere.

From the Publisher
Osprey's Aircraft of the Aces series combines full colour artwork, the best archival contemporary photography, and first hand accounts from aces to bring history's greatest airborne conflicts to life.

Inside This Book (learn more)
First Sentence:
As briefly mentioned in the introduction to this book, Republic's P-47 Thunderbolt never won easy acceptance into combat in the Southwest Pacific theatre due to the spirited opposition provided by the primary Japanese Army and Navy fighters of the day, namely the Nakajima Ki-43 'Oscar' and the Mitsubishi A6M Zero. Read the first page
