As World War II progressed ground attack began to play a vital role. Machines ranged from ground-strafing fighters and fighter bombers to specially designed armoured ground attack aircraft such as the Ilyushin series and Henschel Hs 129B, improvised but succesful anti-tank adaptations such as the Hurricane lld and Junkers JU 87G, and the devastating rocket-firing Typhoons over Western Europe. This is the first comprehensive and well illustrated study tracing the evolution of these aircraft, providing a detailed account of their armament and operational use.

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.
