A detailed account of high speed aerial combat during World War II For many, it is a dive bomber that conjures the most dramatic, quintessential image of WWII: a screaming German Stuka hurtling toward the ground as part of the frightening blitzkrieg that opened the war. Diving vertically at the target, the same direction the bombs will take, was an incredible bombing technique developed by the British and first put into action by the Germans in World War II. Bombers would dive and release the bombs very close to the target at high speed, with high risk, to accurately bomb relatively small and/or moving targets with ease. This riveting and highly detailed account of high speed aerial combat is the result of 40 years of intensive research and provides a complete history of the formidable dive bombers from World War II. Containing an unparalleled collection of data on famous dive bombing aircraft such as the German Stuka, the American Dauntless, the Japanese Aichi D3AI ?Val?, the Soviet PE-2, and numerous others, Dive Bomber is the ultimate guide to this daring machine, enhanced by numerous maps, photographs, tables and diagrams, providing the most accurate and comprehensive guide ever written on this subject. 69 b/w photos l21 illustrations
