Francis Crosby - The World Encyclopedia of Bombers: An Illustrated A-Z Directory Of Bomber Aircraft

Authored by Francis Crosby, this monumental work is the definitive guide to the history, evolution, and power of military bombers across more than a century of technological innovation.Divided into three main sections, the book delves into the origins and major conflicts—from the earliest World War I biplanes (such as the de Havilland DH4 or the German Gotha) to the decisive missions of World War II (like the Blitz or the famous Dambusters raid), as well as modern confrontations such as the Gulf War and the strikes in Libya.
Featuring over 750 vintage and modern photographs, detailed technical specifications (country of origin, first flight, armament, weight, and performance), and a glossary of aeronautical terms, this illustrated encyclopedia is an essential read for aviation enthusiasts, historians, and military history buffs.
