A very high level overview of the war in the air during WWII, this time from the American perspective. This is useful background information, but in general it is far too high level for anything other than light reading or a school report. The illustrations and pictures are great. ( ) The Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor on 7 December 1941 found the Army Air Forces with only slightly more than one thousand combat-ready airplanes. Who could have predicted that, over the next four years, that number would grow to more than eighty thousand aircraft and America would stand at the forefront of the battle in the air? “America in the Air War,” part of The Epic of Flight series, provides readers with an overview of America’s role in the air war of the Second World War. Using both narrative and photographs, readers can explore the rise of American air power, the war in the European theater and in the Pacific. The unfolding story is a testament to both the men and the machines that fought for freedom. Recommended for readers interested in aviation, warplanes, and/or American history. inga recensioner | lägg till en recension

When the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941, the Army Air Forces had only 1,100 combat-ready planes. No one could have imagined then that within the next four years the AAF would become the mighty weapon commemorated in the paintings reproduced on the following pages, or that it would have to scope to engage in what its commander, General Henry H. "Hap" Arnold, described as a "global mission." Nevertheless, by 1944 the AAF had grown into 16 separate air forces stationed around the world, and its 1,100 planes had grown to nearly 80,000.
