Whirlwind: The Air War Against Japan, 1942-1945

Whirlwind is the first book to tell the complete, awe-inspiring story of the Allied air war against Japan's Home Islands-the most important strategic bombing campaign in history. From the audacious Doolittle raid in 1942 to the atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945, award-winning historian Barrett Tillman recounts the saga from the perspectives of American and British aircrews and the generals and admirals who commanded them.
