Over the past 75 years, there have only been a few magazine articles on the gigantic Douglas XB-19 bomber, usually showing it in photos dwarfing the aircraft around it. Since the XB-19 project was top secret and there was only one example, there is little information remaining for researchers. William Wolf presents this enigmatic bomber, a “Flying Laboratory” that was the precursor to America’s first intercontinental bomber, the Continental B-36 \u003cem\u003ePeacemaker\u003c\/em\u003e. Wolf has used original Douglas and Army Air Force documents and very rare (as few were needed for one bomber) Erection \u0026amp; Maintenance Manuals in this history, which also includes never-seen-before photos and color profiles. This volume is a must for the aviation historian, enthusiast, and modeler.\u003c\/p\u003e[AuthorName]By William Wolf[\/AuthorName][AuthorBio]William\r\nWolf is a retired dentist whose consuming 45-year passion is WWII air\r\ncombat and aircraft, having over 25,000 books and magazines, 1,000s of\r\ndownloaded CDs, and three miles of microfilm on WWII in his library.[\/AuthorBio][NumIllustration]251 color and b\/w photos[\/NumIllustration][CoAuthor][\/CoAuthor][SubTitle]An Illustrated History of America's Would-Be Intercontinental Bomber[\/SubTitle][ColorPattern]251 color and b\/w photos[\/ColorPattern]","brand":"VYSN","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":42650488799326,"sku":"carro-15777396","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0655\/6555\/6830\/files\/9780764352324.jpg?v=1776285513","url":"https:\/\/impossible-girls-2.myshopify.com\/products\/douglas-xb-19-by-schiffer-publishing","provider":"Impossible girl's","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
