LEMAY, CURTIS E[MERSON] and, YENNE, BILL Superfortress: The B-29 and American Air Power
New York Mcgraw- Hill Book Co. , 1988 0070371644 / 9780070371644 First Edition Hard Cover Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
22 pages, 12 plates, tables, cloth, DJ, very good. 1st edition. From the DJ: Here is the complete story-from conception to building, to battle - of the Boeing B-29 Superfortress, which emerged from World War II as one of the truly great airplanes in history. By far the largest combat aircraft put into full production during World War II, only the Superfortress had the range to strike at the heart of the Japanese empire. The story of the Superfortress begins in the 1920s with the legendary General Billy Mitchell, who was the first to theorize that long-range strategic bombing could be used in wartime to avoid the appalling loss of life he had seen in the land battles of World War I. His vision was finally realized by a few dedicated followers, including General "Hap" Arnold, father of the enormously expensive and speculative project that gave birth to the B-29. But while Arnold was able to pull strings from his seat on the Joint Chiefs of Staff, he needed a field man who could lead the B-29s into combat. That man was Curtis E. LeMay. Based on firsthand experiences as well as on historical records of the Boeing Airplane Company and the U. S. Army Air Force Archives, Superfortress reconstructs the suspense and urgency of the massive accelerated effort that pushed the B-29 off the drawing boards and through the factory gates in record time. This is the definitive popular history of a revolutionary aircraft.

Yenne, Bill The World's Worst Aircraft.
Dorset Press 1990 0880294906 / 9780880294904 Hardcover Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
160 pages, well illustrated (many in color) , 3-views, cloth, DJ, fine, 9 by 12 inches. From the dust jacket: "The subjects of this book are not the greats, nor the near greats, of aviation history, but the black sheep that have embarrassed their builders, enraged their owners and frightened their pilots. In many cases, these are aircraft that never should have been built, and which are more starkly bizarre than the most deranged flights of fantasy. Such aircraft are made ever so much worse simply by the fact that someone once actually took them seriously. Our inclusions have been selected on the basis of their having utterly failed at their intended role, or their having been built for an utterly ill-conceived task. We have included aircraft that were designed to be overweight and underpowered despite existing aeronautical knowledge - or even despite ordinary common sense Some of our selections were designed - by people who should have known better - as being virtually impossible to get off the ground, while others herein were designed to be impossible to land! In the pages that follow, the reader will find some of the worst and most dangerous contrivances ever perpetrated. Our purpose is to tour a few monuments of foolishness, bad planning and bad timing and to have a little fun in so doing. " GL120 ; 160 pages
