"Of the major combat aircraft to serve in World War II only one has not had its full story recorded for posterity. And yet this aircraft fully merits it own showcase for a variety of reasons... Much that was new to aircraft design and construction first appeared in the Vengeance. Special wing-form and construction techniques gave this aircraft a unique strength and sturdiness; a nil angle of incidence meant that it was the only dive-bomber designed from the outset for vertical attacks; trim-tabs incorporated made it the simplest of all dive-bombers to turn and control in the dive; airborne telemetering originated with the Vengeance and so on... Its accuracy was phenomenal, it losses negligible. it also served with the air forces of the USA, France and Brazil and the Naval Air Arms of both America Great Britain. All these facets are recounted in depth and detail. The author has culled untapped official documents in the USA, Great Britain, Australia, France, and India to reveal new facts on this aircraft"--Dust jacket.
