American Aircraft of World War II

Rating:
Summary: Excellent book
Review: I found this book in the discount section at a local bookstore, and having always had an interested in wartime aircraft, I decided to buy it. For the low price I am very impressed at what this book offers. You get illustrations, photographs, statistics, and even the stories behind over 100 different American warplanes. As I expected, the more popular aircraft seemed to have more pages devoted to them than the less popular ones. Just about any American aircraft that was involved in the second world war can be found in this book, be it a fighter, bomber, attack plane, or even just a patrol plane. Unfortunately, it says nothing in the B-29 Superfortress section about how that particular plane was copied by the Russians. That would have made that section of the book a little more interesting. still, if you're interested in learning more about these classic warplanes and you want a book thats inexpensive but still effective at getting this point across, this book is for you.
