Description:
New book, 287 pages, 200+ color photos. Discover the powerful fighter planes of World War II and the Korean War in vintage color. The P-38 Lightning, the P-40 Warhawk, and the P-51 Mustang were the most powerful forces in air combat. The author has compiled an extensive collection of photographs to accompany his well-researched text on the missions, specifications, and histories of these amazing aircrafts. These are not photographs of restored planes, but rather rare contemporary color photography from the era. These planes are shown in every way imaginable, from the detailed markings and nose art of World War II, to their postwar USAF service, and much more.
