  A first in aviation publishing, The Big Book of Bombers records the history of every significant type of bomber aircraft that has ever been flown. From internationally renowned warplanes, such as the RE-8 or the B-29, to minor players in aviation history such as the Caproni Ca.33 or the Vultee Vengeance, they are all here, presented in chronological order. The work is complemented by rare historical photographs, precise general arrangement drawings, colour profiles, and fabulously detailed cutaways. All the latest bombers are featured, including the Tornado, the F/A-18, and the B-2. Beautiful colour profile artworks of aircraft in operational markings are included, while more than 25 of the most significant bombers also merit a largescale cutaway drawing which reveals internal structure in minute detail. There are also chapters describing the development of bombing operations, both the practical experience and the theoretical thought. The entire volume constitutes one of the most remarkable reference works in aviation publishing.
