Wolf. Lacking adequate escort fighters early in the war, the USAAF conceived of a plan to outfit B-17 and B-24 bombers with enough firepower to serve as intimidating convoys. This illustrated volume offers insight on the XB-41 and XB-40 "destroyer escort planes" that, even before the ultimate introduction of the P-51 Mustang, never successfully materialized due to their heft and lack of nimble maneuverability. 80 pages, 7½"x 10", softcover.
