Diving vertically at the target, in the same direction the bombs will
take, was an incredible bombing technique developed by the British and put into
action in World War II. Bombers would dive and release the bombs very close to
the target at high speed, with high risk, to accurately bomb relatively small
and/or moving targets with ease. This riveting and highly detailed account of
high speed aerial combat is the result of forty years of intensive research
and provides a complete history of the formidable dive bombers from Second World
War. Containing an unparalled collection of data on infamous aircraft like the
German Stuka, the American Dauntless, the Japanese Aichi D3A1 Val, the Soviet
Pe-2, and numerous others, Dive-Bomber is the ultimate guide to this daring
machine, enhanced by numerous maps, photographs, tables and diagrams, providing
he most accurate and comprehensive guide ever written on this
subject.
