War in Pacific Skies: Featuring the Aviation Art of Jack Fellows

Rating:
Summary: Stunning artwork
Review: The best painters are capable of capturing events with more realism and excitement than any photograph or movie ever could. Thanks to the great Jack Fellows, War in Pacific Skies is more of an adrenaline rush than any Hollywood movie on the subject. You can stare at a single one of his paintings for practically an hour and feel transported back in time to the event it portrays. The text is also rich with historical detail, but buy this one for the paintings. First rate!

Summary: Nice art, nothing new
Review: The description somewhat misrepresents the contents of the book. It is PRIMARILY a vehicle to present Fellows artwork, wrapped in some uninspired text and often-seen photographs. I could not find anywhere the "personal insights" referenced. If you like Fellows art and buy the book for that ALONE you will like it. The text is boring and rehashes common ground with nothing new or "insightful".
