{"product_id":"douglas-xb-19-william-wolf-9780764352324","title":"Douglas XB-19: An Illustrated History of America's Would-Be Intercontinental Bomber","description":"In 1935, the intent of the Army Air Corps was to build a potential intercontinental bomber, a \"Guardian of the Hemisphere\"; they granted Donald Douglas a contract to build the world's largest bomber. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e William Wolf\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0764352326\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780764352324\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Schiffer Publishing\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/28\/2017\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 2.10lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 11.20h x 8.70w x 0.80d","brand":"William Wolf","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":47425056473343,"sku":"9780764352324","price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_e7f1a1bf-f288-4557-90eb-b33bef719d18.jpg?v=1761536709","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/douglas-xb-19-william-wolf-9780764352324","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
