Description:In the years before World War II, it was believed that strategic bombing would win wars, but none foresaw the devastation that German radar-directed interceptors would inflict on large bomber formations.With the increasingly urgent need to eliminate German fighter-aircraft prior to D-Day, a concerted two-phase effort was launched, code-named "Operation Argument." Targeting aircraft factories with hundreds of heavy bombers escorted by the new long-range P-51 Mustang, the operation, known to history as the "Big Week" campaign, was designed to destroy aircraft production on the ground, and force the Luftwaffe into combat to defend these vital facilities--when it was intended that the new escort fighters would take their toll on the German interceptors.Using specially commissioned artwork and maps, this is a detailed and fascinating analysis of history's first-ever successful offensive counter-air (OCA) campaign.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
