The skill and bravery of the pilots was paramount, and this book relates the stirring stories of seven of the leading exponents of dive-bombing from the Air Forces and Navies of the Axis and Allies.

A profusely illustrated history of the weapons carried into battle by aircraft against warships. Commencing with early experiments with torpedoes and guided bombs in the Great War, it examines the part played by aerial torpedoes in bringing the long reign of the battleship to an end, plus the Japanese manned guided weapons used against Allied fleets during World War II. Post-war developments include combat in the Falklands and Gulf conflicts plus the threat to the sea lanes with the advent of lethal sea skimmers such as Exocet.

A fascinating, contemporary study of aviation from the perspective of 1936. World War II was approaching and some 'modern' fighters, such as the Hawker Hurricane (at the time apparently unnamed) feature alongside such types as the Hawker Hardy and Demon. There are chapters on civil aviation between the wars, seaplanes, airships and much more. Extensively illustrated in black and white, this book will be of interest from a historical point of view. It even includes some bizarre, and some more accurate predictions of things to come in the future.
