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","brand":"Schiffer Publishing Ltd","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48884549648727,"sku":"9780764352324","price":34.84,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9780764352324.jpg?v=1722532470","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/douglas-xb19-9780764352324","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
