Great aviation art book with detailed info of planes
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This is a great aviation art book with some big plusses. In addition to the paintings, there is a detailed analysis of 6 of the most celebrated airplanes of World War II. The B-17, P-47, P-51, Spitfire, Avro Lancaster & Messerschmitt 109 are depicted by 26 different artists. The paintings are all brilliant & extensive captions explain the historical significance of each. Technical information includes a line drawing with specs. for each plane & a fabulous cut away rendering of a P-51 identifying the components. Also included are paintings & profiles of the key personalities associated with the aircraft.There is a history of aviation art & its role in the war effort & in the cinema. This all serves only to enhance the artwork through a depth of understanding not achieved in other books.
