Paperback. Condizione: Very Good. A story seemingly drawn out of a Hollywood action script.Gripping stuff.--Canada's History Just before midnight on February 13, 1950, three engines of a US Air Force B-36 intercontinental bomber caught fire over Canada's northwest coast. The crew jumped, and the plane ditched somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. Almost four years later, the wreck of the bomber was found accidentally in a remote location in the coastal mountains of British Columbia, three hours' flying time in the opposite direction of where it was supposed to have crashed. After years of silence, the United States finally admitted to losing its very first nuclear bomb; the incident was its first Broken Arrow, the code name for accidents involving nuclear weapons. But was the bomb dropped and exploded over the Inside Passage, or was it blown up at the aircraft's resting place in the mountains?

Paperback. Condizione: Good. During the Second World War, Italy developed numerous special weapons projects, both in the army and the air force. However, it was mainly in the navy that the most daring and fascinating innovations took place.These included the famous assault craft: the pigs (slow-running torpedoes), the M.A.S. (torpedo-armed speedboats) and the explosive barges, the protagonists of glorious operations that culminated in legendary episodes such as the sinking of British ships in Alexandria harbour. Alongside these exploits, mention must also be made of the development of mini-submarines, a sector in which Italy was among the absolute pioneers. Extremely daring projects were conceived in secret bases, including the one - never realised due to the armistice - of striking New York harbour with a mini-submarine carried by an ocean-going submarine, a strategy that demonstrates the ingenuity and courage of the Italian designers of the time.…

OKarton. 223 S., mit Illustrationen, 8° Buch in guter Erhaltung, Einband sauber, an Ecken gering bestoßen, Seiten hell und sauber, ohne Einträge, Just before midnight on February 13, 1950, three engines of a US Air Force B-36 intercontinental bomber caught fire over Canada's northwest coast. The crew jumped, and the plane ditched somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. The fact that the huge aircraft had been carrying a Mark IV nuclear bomb was kept carefully hidden. Three years later, the wreck of the bomber was found by accident in a remote location in the coastal mountains of British Columbia, three hours' flying time in the opposite direction of where it was supposed to have crashed. How did it get there? Did somebody remain on board and fly it there? Only after years of silence did the United States finally admit to losing a nuclear bomb; the incident was the first ever "Broken Arrow," as accidents involving nuclear weapons have come to be known. But was the bomb dropped and exploded over the Inside Passage or was it blown up at the aircraft's resting place in the mountains?
