Today's receipts. The ones on Ju-287 The Do-335 are part of the Luftwaffe Classics series, which I really enjoy and a big thanks to Capt Vick for helping me to figure out which one was #14 (Ju-287).
The next two I bought because of a thread that went off topic and made references to the B-32 being used as a gunship during the planned invasion of Japan. Unfortunately the thread quickly went south and was locked up before any facts and data could be presented. Turns out there is some truth to it. In the book Hell To Pay by D. M. Giangreco and published by Naval Institute Press, it talks about due to the shrinking number of strategic targets, the USAAF was going to switch the heavy bombers from strategic to tactical use and they would carry minimal bombs. Another interesting tidbit was I've always read how the Japanese were short on fuel in 1945, but they actually had almost 1.2 million barrels stored awaiting for use in the final invasion of Japan. It's actually a pretty interesting book so far.
