    Synopsis
    An extensively researched and accurate examination of the eight-month confrontation between two key World War II fighter planes in New Guinea. Although New Guinea's Thunderbolt pilots faced several different types of enemy aircraft in capricious tropical conditions, by far their most common adversary was the Nakajima Ki-43-II Hayabusa, codenamed "Oscar" by the Allies. These two opposing fighters were the products of two radically different design philosophies. The Thunderbolt was heavy, fast, and packed a massive punch thanks to its battery of eight 0.50-cal machine guns, while the "Oscar" was the complete opposite in respect to fighter design philosophy--lightweight, nimble, maneuverable, and lightly armed. It was, nonetheless, deadly in the hands of an experienced pilot. The Thunderbolt commenced operations in New Guinea with a series of bomber escort missions in mid-1943, and its firepower and superior speed soon saw Fifth Air Force fighter command deploying elite groups of P-47s to Wewak, on the northern coast. Flying from there, they would pick off unwary enemy aircraft during dedicated fighter patrols. The Thunderbolt pilots in New Guinea slowly wore down their Japanese counterparts by continual combat and deadly strafing attacks, but nevertheless, the Ki-43-II remained a worthy opponent deterrent up until Hollandia was abandoned by the IJAAF in April 1944. Fully illustrated throughout with artwork and rare photographs, this fascinating book examines these two vastly different fighters in the New Guinea theater, and assesses the unique geographic conditions that shaped their deployment and effectiveness., An extensively researched and accurate examination of the eight-month confrontation between two key World War II fighter planes in New Guinea., On the remote northern coast of New Guinea, the mastery of the skies initially enjoyed by the veteran fighter pilots of the Imperial Japanese Army Air Force (flying highly maneuverable Ki-43-II "Oscar" fighters) was neutralized by a series of offensive and defensive aerial battles, as well as strafing attacks, undertaken in the main by US Fifth Air Force P-47D units. These deadly clashes routinely took place over mountainous terrain in treacherous tropical weather. Neither the Japanese nor the American pilots had been trained for such extreme conditions, and both sides suffered appreciable weather-related attrition as a result. The USAAF pilots in their mighty Thunderbolts gradually wore down their opponents in less well armed, and armored, "Oscars" with superior firepower and hard-won experience. The replacement Japanese pilots were often newly out of flight school, resulting in rising losses. Despite the worsening situation in New Guinea, the IJAAF high command continued to send more pilots, and fighters, into the maw of an unwinnable battle. Book jacket.
