The World War II Air Combat series covers every aspect of the 1939-1945 air war, from deadly combat missions to the crews themselves and the aircraft on which their lives depended. Each issue, published quarterly, offers in-depth historical analysis, technical detail and tales of real heroism, illustrated with rare period images and outstanding colour artworks. Critical campaigns, such as the Battle of Britain and the attack on Pearl Harbor, are reviewed with a focus on both the pilots who took the fight to the enemy and their combat aircraft. Strategic objectives, successes and failures are examined as well as the eventual outcome and its impact on the wider war. The complete story of famous and successful aircraft of the RAF, USAAF and Luftwaffe, such as the revolutionary de Havilland Mosquito, the iconic North American P-51 Mustang, the mighty Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress and the outstanding Focke-Wulf Fw 190, is told from the drawing board to the front line and beyond, with a look at surviving airframes and the museums that preserve them for future generations to come. World War II Air Combat is a collectable series that delivers a compelling and informative account of the aerial conflict which decided the fate of the world and paved the way for Air Power as we know it today.
