Description: Subtitled:
America's Arsenal of Democracy: Vol.
1.
This groundbreaking photo history features fabulous,
never-before-published Kodachrome photography of
the development of new warbirds preceding America's
involvement in World War II - both those that would become legends and
those that would never progress beyond prototypes - as well as the men and
women who kept the effort rolling.
The photography comprises a mix of official military imagery, as well as
shots taken by aviation enthusiasts for private collections. All images are
accompanied by the authoritative text of the author, a World War II United States
Army Air Force veteran, and the foreword is written by the late Fred
Bamberger, a retired U.S. Air Force colonel who helped pioneer the use of
color film for aviation applications.
Hardbound, 11" x 8 1/2", 196 pages, 200 color ill.
