Description
The Nakajima Ki-49 'Helen' Units is a comprehensive study of the twin-engined bomber of the Pacific War, written by Japanese aviation expert George Eleftheriou. The book explores the development, design, and operational history of the Ki-49, from its official codename 'Helen' to its use in various theatres of war. The Nakajima Ki-49 was a significant aircraft in the Pacific War, with over 800 units built between 1941 and 1944. Despite its formidable defensive armament, the Ki-49 was restricted to payloads comparable to smaller medium bombers, limiting its effectiveness. This book provides a detailed account of the units that saw action flying the Ki-49, based on original Japanese sources, as well as high-quality photographs and specially commissioned colour profile artwork. Featuring official unit histories and veteran accounts, this title is a valuable resource for Japanese aircraft enthusiasts and historians.
