More than thirty Allied Forces' WWII aircraft types are illustrated in
many rare and previously unpublished black and white and color
photographs. Each type is described giving vital data on development
history, combat record, famous pilots and significant air battles.
Performance, range and weapon loads are also included. The unique color
photographs are from the collection of the late William B. Slate, an
aviation photographer who strove to capture the thrilling perspective
that can only come from close-up, in-flight vantage points from an
aircraft flying in formation.
