This a very informative history of a most remarkable little known aircraft, the B-32 Dominator; Superfortress of the B-24 Liberator. The B-32, seems to have been forgotten; by intent, of the builders of the B-29, Boeing. Evidenced by the destruction of this aircraft and little known history of it's use, initially and afterwords by mostly the U.S. Navy. This would be an excellent aircraft to have survived to fly and be seen by the World. The history of the last few days before the surrender of Japan is a most know, to understand why an invasion of Japan would have been disaterous. The inside history of real people and real events. Tragic but enlightening into the history of WWII against Japan and a forgotten great, effective aircraft with the B-29.
