Good info on little known Japanese unitsBy SharonI had never read much about the Betty units and did not know how much action they had seen in World War 2. This book gives a good starting point on how they were organized and deployed. It also gives a good idea of the futility of just throwing away lives on missions that had little or no chance of success.1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Greatest Twin-Engine Bomber of WWII.By Richard GearonRange of a B-25: 1500 miles. Range of a Betty: 3500 miles. Bomb loads: The Betty beat all the others. This book tells the story of one of the greatest planes ever made. "Butch" O'Hare (they named an airport after him) shot down a bunch of Bettys and got a Medal of Honor for doing it. Aviation/Military nuts: Buy this book.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Excellent source of information.By LuisUnfortunately we have few sources of information about the history of Japanese twin-engine bomber units of World War II. This book fills; at worst partially; this gap. Recommend to all who appreciate the history of military aviation and the history of World War II.
