Book condition : very good. - One of the most unusual and remarkable American fighter aircraft, the F-82 Twin Mustang was the the last mass production propeller-driven fighter acquired by the U.S. Air Force. Originally intended as a very long-range fighter escort for the Boeing B-29 Superfortress during World War II, it arrived too late to see combat and evolved into a night and all-weather fighter during the post-war years. Combat operations in the Korean War followed, along with a host of other dynamic episodes of deployment. This work traces the developmental, operational, and combat history of this unique American fighter and features over 100 photographs, many of which have never been published before ISBN 9781783462216.
