Synopsis
The Battle of the Bismarck Sea was one of the most decisive naval battles of World War II and this highly illustrated study details the three-day fight which shaped the outcome of the war., Development of the "gun" bomber, armed with eight fixed forward-firing heavy machine guns, and skip-bombing by the Fifth Air Force in the Southwest Pacific Area flipped the momentum of the war in the Pacific in 1943. It finally gave US aircraft an effective means of attacking nimble, fast-moving Japanese destroyers, tasked with protecting vital convoys. The battles fought between USAAF medium bombers and Japanese destroyers were both dramatic and decisive, and had a significant impact on the course of the campaign for New Guinea. The key clash between the B-25 Mitchell and the Imperial Japanese Navy (IJN) came during the Battle of the Bismarck Sea, which proved to be one of the most pivotal naval engagements of World War II. In a three-day fight that saw B-25s target an IJN convoy of transports and destroyers, the Japanese suffered 75 percent casualties. This volume examines the mechanics of skip-bombing and strafing in the B-25, revealing the strengths and weaknesses of the combatants, the results of the attacks, and the reason why these USAAF tactics were so successful. Book jacket., The Battle of the Bismarck Sea was one of the most decisive naval battles of World War II and this highly illustrated study details the three-day fight which shaped the outcome of the war. Throughout the first year of the war in the Pacific during World War II the USAAF was relatively ineffective against ships. Indeed, warships in particular proved to be too elusive for conventional medium-level bombing. High-level attacks wasted bombs, and torpedo attacks required extensive training. But as 1942 closed, the Fifth Air Force developed new weapons and new tactics that were not just effective, they were deadly. A maintenance officer assigned to a B-25 unit found a way to fill the bombardier's position with four 0.50-cal machine guns and strap an additional four 0.50s to the sides of the bomber, firing forward. Additionally, skip-bombing was developed. This called for mast-top height approaches flying the length of the target ship. If the bombs missed the target, they exploded in the water close enough to crush the sides. The technique worked perfectly when paired with "strafe" B-25s. Over the first two months of 1943, squadrons perfected these tactics. Then, in early March, Japan tried to reinforce their garrison in Lae, New Guinea, with a 16-ship convoy - eight transports guarded by eight destroyers. The Fifth Air Force pounced on the convoy in the Bismarck Sea. By March 5 all eight transports and four destroyers had been sunk. This volume examines the mechanics of skip-bombing combined with a strafing B-25, assessing the strengths and weaknesses of the combatants (B-25 versus destroyer), and revealing the results of the attacks and the reasons why these USAAF tactics were so successful.

    The book that was shown was not the book that I received. Nonetheless, when I informed the seller that it wasn't the item they advertised-/they were more than willing to make it right. Since they didn't have another copy of the title I was expecting, they promptly issued an apology; and refund full refund. I really appreciated the speed at which they were willing to make things right with this transaction. I will definitely not hesitate to do business with them again. Thank You!
