EXPLODING FUEL TANKS
The saga of technology that changed
the course of the Pacific air war
by Richard L. Dunn

 

 

 

Exploding Fuel Tanks tells the story of air war over the Pacific in World War Two from the perspective of aircraft vulnerability. The result is surprising history with many oft repeated but inaccurate characterizations of the combatants debunked. In addition to a story about technology this book sheds new light on combat operations and the actual losses (not just claims) each side suffered.
