Descriptionof The Douglas Boston in RAAF Service. No. 22 Squadron 1942-1944
Manufacturer

This volume contains the most detailed history and accurate profiles to date of the Douglas "Boston" light bomber (DB-7B and A-20 models) in RAAF Pacific service. Unusually, only one unit, No. 22 Squadron, used this type. From late 1942 to mid-1943 it flew daring low-flying missions in New Guinea, before being redeployed to the Dutch East Indies in 1944. This volume illustrates and explains the development of the type in RAAF service and for the first time accurately contrasts the Japanese wartime opponents in the air, on the ground and at sea. Combat and other casualties are also explained in relation to the unique operational environment. A wide range of primary sources have been used, including official records, diaries, rare photographs, captured documents and operational logs of the Japanese units concerned. The author is renowned for his expertise on the air war in the Pacific, and his passion for the Douglas light bomber stems from his involvement in the recovery of an RAAF 'Boston' from New Guinea in 1984.
