Whether flying dangerous low-level strafing missions across the South Pacific from New Guinea to the shores of the Japanese Home Islands or battling nature and deadly German flak over the Brenner Pass in northern Italy, the Mitchell established a reputation for being the best medium bomber used by the Allies during the war. The Mitchell was easy to fly for an inexperienced wartime-trained pilot, and a well-trained pilot could get it off a carrier deck, fully loaded. The aircraft was resilient and could suffer damage from enemy fire, be it from Zeros over Rabaul or 88mm flak sited in the mountains along the Brenner Pass, and bring the crews home - even in bombers so badly damaged that they never flew again. With over 115 images, this book tells the story of the creation of an aviation classic and the brave crews who made its reputation.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 243mmItem Length: 170mmAuthor: Tom CleaverGenre: Law & PoliticsBook Series: Historic Military Aircraft SeriesRelease Year: 2023 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
