223 S., mit Illustrationen, 8° Buch in guter Erhaltung, Einband sauber, an Ecken gering bestoßen, Seiten hell und sauber, ohne Einträge, Just before midnight on February 13, 1950, three engines of a US Air Force B-36 intercontinental bomber caught fire over Canada's northwest coast. The crew jumped, and the plane ditched somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. The fact that the huge aircraft had been carrying a Mark IV nuclear bomb was kept carefully hidden. Three years later, the wreck of the bomber was found by accident in a remote location in the coastal mountains of British Columbia, three hours' flying time in the opposite direction of where it was supposed to have crashed. How did it get there? Did somebody remain on board and fly it there? Only after years of silence did the United States finally admit to losing a nuclear bomb; the incident was the first ever "Broken Arrow," as accidents involving nuclear weapons have come to be known. But was the bomb dropped and exploded over the Inside Passage or was it blown up at the aircraft's resting place in the mountains? This Cold War-era tale borders on fantasy as Dirk Septer follows the last flight of Bomber 075 and attempts to unravel the real story behind more than 50 years of secrecy, misdirection and misinformation. , Sprache: Englisch Gewicht in Gramm: 420.…

Store description
Das Antiquariat wurde im Jahr 2007 durch die Eheleute Frank und Heike Bäßler gegründet. Es handelt sich dabei um ein reines Familienunternehmen. Durch Engagement und ständige fachlich Weiterbildung konnte der Buchbestand im Laufe der Jahre sowohl quantitativ als auch qualitativ stetig ausgebaut werden. Die Bücher sind in mehr als 100 Sachgebiete von A wie Architektur bis Z wie Zeitschriften katalogisiert. Schwerpunkte sind geschichtliche Bücher, Kalligraphie und Typographie sowie Bayern und die Oberpfalz. Natürlich sind wir auch ständig auf der Suche nach neuen Ankaufsmöglichkeiten. Wir freuen uns wenn Buchliebhaber uns Teile ihrer persönlichen Sammlungen zum Verkauf anbieten. Wir wünschen Ihnen viel Spaß beim Stöbern.
