{"product_id":"c-47r4d-skytrain-units-of-the-david-isby-9781846030468","title":"C-47\/R4d Skytrain Units of the Pacific and Cbi","description":"C-47 is an aircraft that remains a popular favourite and an acknowledged classic design, carrying out missions every bit as strategically important and as dramatic for the aircrew as those of the fighters and bombers. The C-47's wartime operations paved the way for post-war military air transport. It also demonstrated how the USAAF was able to invest in and carry out a mission that it had not devoted much time to preparing for in terms of pre-war doctrine (in contrast to strategic bombing). In addition to linking theatres (by flying across 'the Hump'), it showed how vital it was to operations within a theatre like New Guinea. Even if massed airborne invasions were not carried out in the PTO\/CBI, all air arms need transports like the C-47.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e David Isby\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1846030463\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781846030468\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/27\/2007\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 96\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.44h x 7.32w x 0.26d","brand":"David Isby","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44078694531327,"sku":"9781846030468","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f689da2b-a2ce-4214-82c8-4e2a0797b971.jpg?v=1685476975","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/c-47r4d-skytrain-units-of-the-david-isby-9781846030468","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
