Flak in World War Ⅱ

摘要

August 15,1945-seven hours after the broadcast of the Japanese surrender, a lone Yokosuka D4Y "Judy" was picking its way through an overcast sky 200 miles south of Tokyo. The Kamikaze pilot had begun his diving attack on the USS Heer-mann (DD-532) when a single 5-inch variable-time round from the destroyer, a radar picket, spoiled his plans. Just that quickly, WW ll's antiaircraft war was over. And so ends Flak in World War Ⅱ, the latest book of veteran author and Flight Journal contributor Donald Nijboer, who takes his readers every historical step of the way in antiaircraft defense development.
