Vintage Aircraft Nose Art

Summary: One great book
Review: Anyone who truly understands what the men and women of this country did for us so that we may live like we do today, will appreciate this book. The pictures of the planes, the crews, and the flight jackets, are astounding. Anyone knowing of the existence of any authentic flight jackets please email me. My eyes welled with tears the first time I looked through this book - the men who flew in these planes defined bravery, as did so many of the men who saw combat in any service. I wish I could thank them all personally. Here is a "thank you" to any person who served our country then. My DOB: 1957.

Review: I have always had a great interest in WWII bombers and fighters. In addition to this my, step-uncle was a 1st Lt. Co-pilot on a B-17 stationed in Deenethorpe, England and flew 30 missions between 6/44 & 11/44 in the 615th B.S. of the 401stBG (H). I purchased this book after reading the good reviews it had. I was very impressed with the book. There are B&W pictures of nose art on B-17's, B-24's, B-29's, B-26's, B-25's, A-26's, P-51's, C-47's, C-87's, P-38's, P-47's, P-61's. There are also some color pictures and also there are some pictures of the back of a few flight jackets. The pictures are 99% bombers. This is a picture book with info below the pictures if available.

Summary: TREMENDOUS COLLECTION OF NOSE ART PHOTOGRAPHS
Review: Phenomenal book for the ages. Valant does an incredible job not only preserving the rich history of WWII nose art, and whenever possible, he also list Bomb Groups and Squadrons to accompany the photographs. THIS IS A COLLECTION OF PHOTOGRAPHS, not a lot of written material on the history of WWII pinups. This is a great collection for the collector as it also has some pictures of the old A-2 Leather bombers with the pin-up art painted on them as well. Easily worth the money. Get it before it goes out of print.
