B-29 Superfort vs Japanese Nightfighter

In this study, Mark Lardas analyzes the effectiveness of the USAAF's B-29-led strategic bombing campaign against Japan by evaluating the capabilities of the involved aircraft and the conditions under which both sides fought. The shift from high-level daytime precision bombing to low-level night time area bombing proved successful, even without a formation or escorting fighters for protection. Using maps, tactical diagrams, photographs, and specially commissioned artwork, Lardas brings the intense battles between individual US bombers and Japanese nightfighters to life. An essential read for military experts, this 80-page softcover features expertly researched facts and figures, offering insights into the role of cutting-edge technology in determining the outcome of the battle.
