After giving up on Amazon.com, I wound up ordering it on Amazon.co.uk, and it only took 8 days to get here, which is outstanding! (Especially considering that my orders from Key Publishing are averaging 2 months to get here! Shame on them!)
As expected, it is outstanding, but I did find one apparent factual error on page 119. It states:
"The RAF also evaluated two American bombers, the Boeing B-29 Superfortress and the Consolidated B-32 Dominator,.....The RAF had to settle with the Lincoln as its main post-war heavy bomber until examples of the B-50 Washington, an upgrade of the B-29, were acquired in 1951."
If this is true, it is all new to me. It implies that the RAF never operated B-29s and that the Washingtons were, in fact, B-50s, a type that I don't believe the RAF ever operated. Can someone please clarify this situation?
