P-47 Thunderbolt vs BF 109G: Europe 1943-45

"The largest single-engined fighter when the USA entered the war, the P-47 was a monster of a machine. In contrast, the Bf 109G/K was a much smaller aircraft with all-round better performance than the P-47 at low altitudes. This book examines the mighty dash between these two legends of the sky. It studies the pilots' training, the tactics they used in combat and the technological development of these second generation World War II aircraft. Finally, the key elements of both fighters - the airframe, engine, armament and flying characteristics - are explored through first-hand accounts from the aces that went head-to-head in the war-torn skies over Europe."--BOOK JACKET.Bowman, Martin is the author of 'P-47 Thunderbolt vs BF 109G: Europe 1943-45', published 2008 under ISBN 9781846033155 and ISBN 1846033152.
