'Even the most knowledgeable aviation historian may know little about the Douglas B-18 and its contribution to WW2 aviation. ... It was the B-18 that defeated the extremely serious Axis submarine threat in the Caribbean during the first, crucial eight months following the US entry into the war and it was the B-18 that trained most of the crews who took the first B-17 squadrons overseas. US tax payers truly got their money's worth from the 340 aircraft built' (dustwrapper blurb).
