This high-interest volume introduces readers to the exciting world of World War II aircraft. Through detailed diagrams of cockpits, engines, and weapons systems, readers are given a bird’s-eye view inside an impressive collection of World War II aircraft, including the United States’ P-51D Mustang, which shot down more enemy aircraft than any other Allied fighter plane. Also included are such heavy hitters as Japan’s Zero fighter, Germany’s Messerschmitt Bf 19E, and fearsome bomber aircraft like Britain’s Lancaster bomber and the U.S.’s B-29 Superfortress.
