Book excerpt: The Consolidated B-32 Dominator was the companion Very Heavy Bomber to the famed Boeing B-29 Superfortress. Used extensively for a revolutionary crew training program in the United States during 1945 just nine reached the Pacific before VJ day. The Dominator made its mark on history in the skies over Tokyo. Just days after the official cease fire was agreed on it battled Japanese fighters over a two day period marking the last official aerial combat of World War II. With the completion of the war every B-32 was scrapped and it slipped from history. Echoes of the Dominator brings to life the stories of the B-32 Dominator as never told before through the eyes of the men who flew it into the pages of history. Follow the men through training and into combat where their lives were forever changed by events that occurred when the war was supposed to be over.
