Straight Down!The North American A-36 divebomber in action £19.95 “When we speak of dive-bombing
we mean straight down...right
down the smokestack. If your
airplane doesn’t stand on its nose
and lay eggs in their lap, then you
are not dive-bombing.”
An American Navy pilot during
the 2nd World War
This story, largely ignored by
aviation historians to date, charts the
development of the A-36, recounts
the training of its young pilots and
gives graphic descriptions of
combat missions in Europe and
Asia. The book is illustrated with
over 100 previously unpublished
photographs and contains dramatic
eye-witness accounts from the
squadron pilots of the 27th and 86th
Fighter-Bomber Groups.
