By Ted Nomura and Ben & Joe Dunn. "Schweinfurt." After the "Hamburg Holocaust" initiated by the RAF (Royal Air Force) in July 1943, the USAAF (U.S. Army Air Force) concentrated the main bulk of its forces on attacking Schweinfurt in August and October 1943. Despite the chaos of the German High Command, the Luftwaffe inflicted a heavy toll on the American bombers, which the Americans still believed could bomb without fighter escort. With casualties reaching 1500 in those two raids, the Americans suspended all heavy bombing missions until the spring of 1944, rushing to prepare for D-Day.

By Justo Miranda and Ted Nomura. "Amerika Bombers"?In real history, after bungling their efforts to end World War II in Europe by Christmas of 1944, the Allies finally achieved their victory in May 1945. The extra six months that it took to win the war against Germany were very costly, but the Allies were to discover the horrific disaster that they prevented by keeping the war from going on into 1946. While the rest of the world was exposed to the Nazi crimes of the Jewish genocide, the military and political leaders were rushing to obtain the vast technology and weapons data of the Nazi war machine, often by using illegal means against their former allies. The biggest threat they discovered was "Projekt: Amerika," the planned bombing of America by nuclear and/or chemical means. This subject will once again showcase the talents of the Miranda/Mercado team with detailed data and drawings, from the long-range Me-264/Ta-400 bombers to the advanced Sanger spaceplane and the A9/A10 intercontinental missile. In addition, Luftwaffe/World War II: 1946 series creator Ted Nomura will include information relating to his own series. b&w, 48pgs. Cover price $3.99.

The Allied firebombing of Hamburg was months away, and it would be more than a year before D-Day, but a mad rush into creating new defensive and offensive weapons before the end of war in 1945 resulted in a large dossier of incredible "Wonder Weapons." From high-powered sound weapons to an electromagnetic railgun, to a series of anti-aircraft missiles, they tried them all because they had nothing to lose but time. Once again, the Miranda/Mercado team provides a wealth of data in addition to extra information from Luftwaffe/WWII creator Ted Nomura. Quarterly. b&w, 48pgs. Cover price $3.99.
