{"product_id":"pv-ventura-harpoon-units-of-world-war-ii","title":"PV Ventura: Harpoon Units of World War II","description":"Osprey's examination of the PV Ventura\/Harpoon Units and of their participation in World War II (1939-1945). A development of the successful Lockheed 'medium twins' of the late 1930s, the PV Ventura\/Harpoon family of patrol bombers saw widespread service with both the US Navy\/Marine Corps and the TAF and Commonwealth from October 1942 onwards. The USAAF also used surplus Venturas originally ordered by the RAF, designated B-34 Lexingtons, in the bomber training and coastal patrol roles. The final variant in this family was the larger PV-2 Harpoon, which was built to a US Navy requirement from March 1944 onwards. Used primarily in the Pacific, 470 Harpoons saw frontline service on anti-shipping and submarine patrols through to VJ-Day. This book covers each of these variants in complete illustrated detail.\u003cbr\u003eASIN: 1841763837\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.1841763837.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Tullis, Tom|Carey, Alan C.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eNote:\u003c\/b\u003e Any images shown are stock photographs and product may differ from what is shown.  \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eCondition Notes\u003c\/b\u003e: Gently used with minimal wear on the corners and cover.
