OSPREY COMBAT AIRCRAFT # 22 - MITSUBISHI TYPE 1 RIKKO " BETTY " UNITS OF WORLD WAR 2
Tagaya, Osamu
The most produced Japanese bomber of the war (2446 built), the G4M saw action on every front from the first day of the Pacific conflict through to VJ-Day. Built by Mitsubishi for the Imperial Japanese Navy, the 'Betty's' very long range made it a key weapon during the opening year of the war. However, to achieve this range, the aircraft was built with very little protective armour for its crew, or fuel tanks, and Allied pilots soon exposed its extreme vulnerability. Indeed, its propensity to burst into flames when under fire earned it the nickname 'the Flying Lighter'. In the first in a series of volumes examining the key Japanese aircraft of World War 2, Dr Osamu Tagaya details the aircraft's extensive combat history, and lists all the units which operated the bomber. Detailed text, including first-hand accounts, charting the colourful service career of Japan's most effective medium bomber. Crews speak of their experiences in flying over the Pacific right through to VJ-Day. Features rare archival photography, as well as 1/96th scale drawings which have been specially commissioned for this book and painstakingly researched from primary sources. 2001, NEW COPY, PAPER EDITION, 7 X 10, 112 pages, 39 color a/c side views, many B&W illus. index. . ISBN: 1-84176-082-X. ( more information) Offered by ARTICLES OF WAR Ltd (United States)
