Pictures, pictures, and pictures: Just what aircraft lovers want and need. This book is a MUST for all those who buy books about WWII aviation, who respect all Osprey publications, and who want to know a bit more about the planes and the pilots who flew them. Thirty planes and pilots, thirty stories--and drawings and aircract specifications. This a book for "beginners" or for those who have all the Tony Holmes books. A required addtion to any library.

Great Stories

This is truly a great collection of stories. The book has passages from various fighter pilots from various nations who took part in the Second World War's battles in the air. Told by the aces themselves, this book is a great read, and provides insight into the actions of many of these brave men as they risked their lives thousands of feet above, fighting for their countries as well as their own survival.
