Sky warriors : classic air war battles

59 b/w illustrations! Swooping down from the air, risking all to inflict enormous damage on the enemy: this is the daring of combat fliers. 15 true stories, ranging from WWI zeppelin adventures to the most up-to-date Tornado spyplanes, trace the changes in military aviation over eight decades. They include such triumphant campaigns as the Battle of Britain, reconnaissance over Normandy, and Desert Storm, as well as some disastrously planned actions--among them, the Japanese in the Marianas and the Luftwaffe's last-ditch attempt to defeat the Allies.
