This book provides one with a number of reminders of other American wars; the inadequate equipment of the early days of World War II in the Pacific, the chain of command issues in the later days of that war, the roles-and-services fights that lingered through Vietnam, and the lousy treatment received by reservists in this country's current military adventures. What is unique about the story of the B-29 in the context of the Korean war is that it was still a time when aircraft could go from cutting edge to obsolete in only a few years time and this happened while jet aircraft had gone from being a sporadically lethal curiosity to deadly dependability. Meaing that the men who took these planes into combat had to cope with the Soviet Mig 15, until what had been the ultimate day bomber of its time had been driven into the night. For these reasons this is one of the better values in this series and certainly well worth reading. ( ) Sense ressenyes | afegeix-hi una ressenya

This book is the story of a majestic bomber of the propeller era flying perilous combat missions against a sleek, nimble warplane of the jet age, the Soviet MiG-15. A very heavy bomber and a sky giant during World War 2, at that time the B-29 was the most advanced combat aircraft in the world. By the time North Korea attacked its southern neighbour in 1950, the B-29 had been reclassified a medium bomber. Many of its crew members had fought their war and settled down to raise families and begin careers only to be recalled to fight another war on a distant Asian peninsula.
