あらすじ・解説
Learn About the Revolutionary Technology of the Aircraft of World War II
The evolution of the aeroplane used in the context of war was exponentially fast between World War I and World War II. During the First World War, planes were used for mainly for intelligence gathering and were only able to achieve speeds of a maximum of 145 miles per hour. This then evolved into planes being used to take each other down using grappling hooks, and this then evolved into shooting each other with rifles. Follow the development of the use of air combat during World War II, and learn about the progression of planes being used for increasingly treacherous combat. Go from the "dogfighting" days of fighting with hooks and rifles right through to hundreds of planes converging on each other.
Hear stories of the brave men who fought in air combat during the war such as Douglas Bader, a British pilot who earned the title of "ace" four times over due to his 20 kills during his illustrious air career; this feat is even more incredible due to the fact that following an accident in 1931, he had no legs, which allowed him to defy the laws of gravity and g-force to constantly astound colleagues and senior officers.
This book is a thrill ride which builds from minute to minute. It is a must-listen for anyone with even a slight interest in the topic of World War II. You will listen about things that will astound and impress you throughout.
