From the book: Purnell's History of the World Wars Special 1939-1945 War Planes is a book that focuses on the history of war planes during World War II. Air power dominated the Second World War. By 1945, the flying kites of 1914-18 had been developed into formidable weapons of war packed with eletronic equipment; they were capable of delivering a shattering blow against any enemy on land, at sea, or in the air. These six years from 1939 were to see the passing of the Gloster Gladiator bi-plane, and the advent of the world's first jet fighters: of the gigantic B-29 Superfortresses and of the rocket technology of the German V-1s and V-2s. The story of the warplanes of the Second World War is one of staggering technical progress and of the courage and daring of those who flew these planes. This book cocers the development of both Allied and Axis aircraft in the years 1945, and in various first-hand accounts of missions, vividly conveys the spirit of those battles that were fought thousands of feet above the earth. The text is written by acknowledged experts, and is complemented throughout by color and black and white action photographs and detailed color drawings.
