LEATHERNECK BOMERS: Marine Corps B-25/PJB Mitchell Squadrons in World War II

OUR PRICE: £19.95

At last, a forceful study of an elite group of men chosen to form the US Marines' only medium bomber group during World War II. Alan C.Carey, celebrated author of three Schiffer books on US Navy PB4Y operations, now documents the Marine Corps PBJ squadrons. Day-by-Day, night-by-night, these bombers pounded away at the Japanese across the Pacific. In their own words and with photographs, veterans recall their service flying combat missions against enemy garrisons on Bougainville and New Ireland, and later in the dramatic rocket and group-strafing attacks in support of American forces fighting in the Philippines. Leatherneck Bombers includes over 170 photographs and maps, a detailed list of individual squadron aircraft and personnel losses, and all known PBJs assisgned to units overseas.
