Packed with 110 artworks with detailed specifications, it is a key reference for both military aviation modellers and WWII enthusiasts. The United States built the best strategic bombers of World War II, and by the end of the conflict America’s bombers dominated the skies in both Europe and the Pacific. American Bomber Aircraft of World War II is a detailed guide to all the bombers deployed by the USAAF and US Navy from 1941 to 1945. Organised chronologically, this book includes all the great types of the era, such as the B-17 Flying Fortress, which led the daylight bombing campaign against German industrial targets; the B-24 Liberator, which carried out the famous raid on the Ploesti oil refinery in Romania in 1943; the rugged Grumman TBF Avenger torpedo bomber, flown by US Navy pilots at the Battle Midway in that key turning point in the Pacific War; and the B-29 Superfortress, the aircraft most responsible for degrading Japan’s ability to wage war with their constant aerial attacks throughout 1944 and 1945. The guide is illustrated with profile artworks and three-views, as well as two-page dynamic artworks of some of the more famous aircraft in service, such as the highly- adaptable B-25 Mitchell, which served in every theatre in a variety of roles, the Douglas Dauntless SBD naval scout plane, and the Martin B-26 Marauder, one of the fastest medium bombers of its era. Illustrated with more than 100 authentic artworks with accurate markings and camouflage, American Bomber Aircraft of World War II is an essential reference guide for modellers and military aviation enthusiasts.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9781838863272","publication_date":"20231214","publisher":"Amber Books","slug":"american-bomber-aircraft-of-world-war-ii","subtitle":"","title":"American Bomber Aircraft of World War II"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"HIS027140","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Military Aviation","score":0.8407,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"HIS027320","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Military Aircraft","score":0.8326,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"TRA002010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Aviation History","score":0.8156,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"HIS027140","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Military Aviation","score":0.8407,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"HIS027320","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Military Aircraft","score":0.8326,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"TRA002010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Aviation History","score":0.8156,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"HIS027100","confidence_band":"high","label":"World War II History","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"HIS027140","confidence_band":"high","label":"Military Aviation","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"TRA002010","confidence_band":"high","label":"Aviation History","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Military Aviation","score":0.8407,"slug":"military-aviation"},{"label":"Military Aircraft","score":0.8326,"slug":"military-aircraft"},{"label":"Aviation History","score":0.8156,"slug":"aviation-history"}],"reader_fit":["Good for readers who enjoy Military Aviation","Good for readers who enjoy Military Aviation and Military Aircraft."],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Edward Ward","Ronny Bar"],"book_id":"9781838864781","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781838864781.jpg?v=20260417T204117Z-pairingsrefresh%3A2026-04-17T20%3A41%3A17Z","score":19.0135,"title":"British Aircraft of World War I","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781838864781"},{"authors":["Thomas Newdick"],"book_id":"9781838861285","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781838861285.jpg?v=20260417T204117Z-pairingsrefresh%3A2026-04-17T20%3A41%3A17Z","score":14.5063,"title":"Military Aircraft","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781838861285"},{"authors":["Michael Burgan","Dennis E.
