A 2000 Barnes & Noble release, Chris Chant's THE WORLD'S GREAT BOMBERS is a comprehensive and nicely-illustrated guide to top-ranking bombers of the past 100 years.
Chant divides his topic into four chapters, covering WW I, the inter-war years, World War II and postwar bombers. Each chapter provides background on general bomber development of that era along with detailed descriptions of the different bombers operated by various air forces, combats ops, production, etc. The WW II chapter, for instance, covers He 111s, SB-2s, Whitleys, B-17s, Do 17s, DB-3s, G3Ms, SM.79s, Hampdens, Il-4s, Baltimores, Wimpeys, Amiot 143s and many more.
Chant's knowledgeable text is complimented by b&w and color photographs and dozens of color side-profiles, most done by John Weal.
