P-38 Lightning Vs Ki-61 Tony - Nijboer Donald
With its distinctive, twin-tailed design, the P-38 was one of the most recognizable fighter aircraft of World War II. The perfect balance of speed, firepower and range, it made a formable opponent during the crucial battles for the Solomon Islands and New Guinea. It was also one of the best.
In head-to-head match-ups, the P-38 proved the superior fighter, but individual duels often came down to the ability and experience of the individual pilots. In response, the Japanese worked with the Germans to develop the Ki-61, a heavy air superiority fighter with an impressive array of firepower. This book recreates these fast, deadly duels in the skies of the Pacific using dramatic artwork and first-hand accounts.
