Holding the Line: The Douglas B-18 Bolo in the Early Years of WWII

The Douglas B-18 Bolo was an aircraft of honorable service rather than a symbol of technological prowess. In the early years of World War II, it might not have boasted the power or sophistication of the bombers that came later in the war or even some of its contemporaries, but it held the ground honorably. It bridged a critical gap until better and stronger bombers arrived and wrecked the Germans.
