The Boeing B-29 was one of the most sophisticated aircraft of WWII. It featured many innovations including guns that could be fired by remote control and pressurized crew compartments. It was also the heaviest production plane of the war, with terrific range and bomb-carrying capabilities. Carrying a crew of ten, the Superfortress devastated Japan in a series of raids in 1944-45. Finally, in August of 1945, the B-29s "Enola Gay" and "Bock's Car" dropped the atomic bombs and forced Japan to surrender. Originally printed by the U.S. Army Air Force, this B-29 Airplane Commander Pilot's Training Manual taught pilots everything they needed to know about the Superfortress. Classified ¿Restricted¿, the text was declassified long ago and is here reprinted in book form. This impressive facsimile presents the manual in its entirety. It is over 200 pages long, and reproduced in its original multi-color glory for the first time ever.

Presents information from a wealth of training manuals and tactical documents, including diagrams and illustrations. During World War II, the US Army Air Forces (USAAF) projected American military might across distances and with destructive force unimaginable just a decade previously. The B-17s and B-24s of the US Eighth Air Force, for example, turned much of Germany’s infrastructure to twisted steel and burnt rubble between 1943 and 1945. B-29 Superfortresses unleashed conventional raids on Japan of even greater area destruction than that created by the atomic bomb attacks (also delivered by USAAF crews). Beyond heavy strategic bombing, US bombers performed a multitude of other tactical roles, including hunting Axis submarines, bombing enemy shipping, low-level runs against precision targets, and providing heavy air support to advancing infantry and armor. While the US bombers dealt out violence, however, they were also prey to a terrifying spectrum of antiaircraft threats, and by the end of the war 88,119 US airmen had died in service. Bomber crews were a world unto themselves, composed of pilots, co-pilots, engineers, navigators, wireless operators, gunners, and bombardiers. And each aircraft type had its own unique characteristics and capabilities, from twin-engine B-25 Mitchells designed for strafing and skip-bombing to the four-engine workhorses of the strategic bombing campaign: the B-17 Flying Fortress, B-24 Liberator, and B-29 Superfortress. Fighting from the Heavens: Tactics and Training of USAAF Bomber Crews, 1941–45 presents an invaluable collection of material from US wartime manuals, including doctrinal, training, technical, aircraft-specific, and position-specific publications. Through these manuals, the reader gains an insider’s insight into the demands of US bomber warfare, including long-distance navigation, gun-turret operation, formation flying, bomber start-up procedures, and bomb aiming.

Although many books have been published about the B-29, none has been an in-depth look, with most being either superficial pictorials or focusing on the bombing campaigns, particularly the incendiary attacks and atomic bombings. This book, using rare, previously unexplored sources, intends to provide the definitive look at the bomber and crew, detailing every facet for the air enthusiast, historian and modeler. The author was granted rare access to the Pima Air & Space Museum's restored B-29 "Sentimental Journey" for inspection and photography, resulting in the most extensive photographic documentation of the B-29 ever published. The Pima Museum's archives, filled with B-29 technical and crew manuals also gave the author extensive information that had not been previously published. These sources, the author's extensive personal library, and microfilm resources enabled the author to produce this comprehensive look at the bomber and its crew in the context of the bomber's development and operational use. It is truly monumental in scope, both in words and photos.

With the first prototype rolling off the assembly line in 1935, the Boeing B-17 Flying Fortress was the world's first truly mass-produced four engined heavy bomber. The B-17 was used as the backbone of the US Army Air Force's strategic bomber forces through all theaters of the Second World War. Used as a strategic bomber from Europe to Burma to the Pacific and North Africa, the B-17 earned a well-deserved reputation for bomb load, firepower, versatility and sheer ruggedness of the airframe. The B-17 carried a crew of 10 and the aircraft routinely hauled thousands of pounds of bombs on long-range "Aluminum Overcast" bombing missions Carrying a crew of ten, and 8,000 pounds of bombs on long range missions, the B-17 wreaked havoc on Nazi Germany, Fascist Italy and Imperial Japan during the most critical years of the Second World War. Printed by the U.S. Army Air Force's Office of Flying Safety in 1944, this B-17 Bomber Pilot's Flight Operating Manual was an easy-to-read reference book which at a glance reminded B-17 pilots everything they needed to know about the "Fort." Originally classified "Restricted", the manual was declassified long ago and is presented here, reprinted in book format with similar dimensions to the original manual and packed with historic photographs and lavishly illustrated with two-color graphics and charts. With originals becoming exceedingly rare, and with a price tag to match, this classic manual is a perfect lower-cost reference copy for aviation or military history enthusiasts. We are proud to have been able to remaster and restore our original copy in order bring this iconic aviation manual back into print.
