About this book

BLANKETS OF FIRE: U.S. Bombers over Japan during World War II (Smithsonian History of Aviation and Spaceflight Series) by Kenneth P. Werrell. hardcover edition. ISBN: 9781560986652.

When the focus of World War II shifted to the Pacific in 1944, the Army Air Forces (AAF), equipped with the new, longer-range B-29 bomber, tried to shift strategic bombing tactics as well. Blankets of Fire describes the adjustments necessary to target Japan and places them in the context of overall AAF and wartime strategy. 58 photos.
