If the trenches were the defining combat element of the First World War, then surely air power was the defining element in Second. Previously, air power primarily served to support the army and navy, but now it was of vital importance to the war effort in its own right. The battle for the skies was bloody and brutal where no quarter was ever given for to own the skies was to command the battlefield below. Between 1939 and 1945, the primary combatants built an estimated 810,000 aircraft of varying types and roles and with such large numbers of aircraft in action, there were bound to be stories that emerged which we still don’t know the whole truth of, as all the facts get blurred in the fog of war. From missing pilots to a phantom bomber to the mystery of the luminous objects seen by crews across the world, here we are going to examine four aviation mysteries of World War II. Welcome to Wars of the World.
