A photographic history spanning a century of innovation in military aviation, this book features forty of America's greatest combat aircraft from World War I and World War II to the modern era--the true warbirds. This collection captures the "greatest generation" of warbirds--the restored B-17 Flying Fortresses, B-24 Liberators, P-38 Lightnings, P-47 Thunderbolts, P-51 Mustangs, transports, trainers, bombers, and fighters--close-up at rest or flashing in action by premier air-to-air aviation photographer Max Haynes. Each of the 250 photographs--200 in color--is accompanied by detailed information on the pictured aircraft, its pilot, crew, and unique history, making this volume the ultimate resource on combat aircraft in the twentieth century.
