Bombing Nazi Germany by Vansant, Wayne

ISBN: 9780760345306 PUBLISHER: Zenith Press FORMAT: Paperback PAGES: 100 PUBLICATION DATE: 15.10.2013 DIMENSIONS: 6 x 0.2 x 9 inches 8 ounces

DESCRIPTION: In "Bombing Nazi Germany," renowned graphic novel author and artist Wayne Vansant profiles the dramatic joint American-British Allied air war against Nazi Germany throughout Europe during World War II. Meticulously researched, illustrated, and written with the same unmatched quality of Vansant's "Normandy" and "Gettysburg" (also from Zenith Press), "Bombing Nazi Germany" tells the story of the first and second generations of airmen, soldiers, and politicians from both sides who sought to bomb the enemy into submission. Vansant traces the development of the wildly controversial Strategic Bombing doctrine in the 1920s and 1930s, the early stages of WWII and the dominance of the German "Luftwaffe," and the eventual 1942 involvement of the United States' 8th Air Force and its vast fleet of B-17 and B-24 bombers. Beautifully detailed with maps, schematics, and charts, "Bombing Nazi Germany" also explores how industry and science aided the Allied air forces in these violent fights, as both the Americans and British made crucial advancements in air detection and evasion methods. Finally, Vansant illustrates the lesser-known perspective of the brave German pilots five miles above the earth who fought not to protect Hitler's Reich, but their homes and families. As entertaining as it is educational, "Bombing Nazi Germany" continues Wayne Vansant's tradition of brilliant nonfiction graphic history.
