US Navy Carrier Aircraft vs IJN Yamato Class Battleships - Pacific Theater 1944-45 (Duel Nr. 69) - Stille
Osprey Duel: Berichte über die Kriegsmaschinen, die sich auf den Schlachtfeldern gegenüberstanden, ihre Zweikämpfe und die Männer, die sie bedienten. Dieser Band beschreibt die Auseinandersetzungen zwischen den pakistanischen M48 Patton und den indischen Centurion während des zweiten Indisch-Pakistanischen Kriegs. Die beiden Muster und ihre Geschichte werden ausführlich vorgestellt. Inkl. zahlreicher zeitgenössischer Fotos, Kartenskizzen und Farbprofile, u.a. mit detaillierter Darstellung des Turms und der Bordwaffen.
As the Pacific War approached a crescendo, the clashes between swarming US Navy carrier aircraft, and the gigantic Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) Yamato-class battleships became symbolic of the fortunes of the two nations. They also served as a metaphor for the profound changes in naval technology and doctrine that the war had brought about. The two opposing forces were the most powerful of their kind - the Japanese Yamato and Musashi were the biggest most heavily armored and armed battleships ever built, while US carrier aviation had evolved into a well-oiled, war-winning machine. With detailed analysis of the technical features of the opposing war machines and a gripping account of the fighting itself, this vividly illustrated work presents views from the cockpits of US Navy Divebombers, and down the sights of IJN anti-aircraft guns, during two of the most dramatic naval engagements ever fought.
