US AIR FORCE IN WORLD WAR II

(Subject: Aviation - General) In World War I not a single American built plane flew in combat. Between the wars the aircraft became more than a mere plaything and, with the activities of men like Billy Mitchell, it became an invaluable weapon. Pearl Harbor spurred the development of potent combat types which enabled the US Army Air Forces to prosecute the Second World War in Europe and the Pacific. This book tells that story in pictures and with graphic descriptions.
