Customer Reviews

aptly labeled for the "Enthusiast"

Like the P-38 color photo book, this is aptly titled as part of the "Enthusiast Color Series." This is a great looking and affecting book of color pictures following the various models and increasing armament of the B-17 bomber from Boeing Field to Bassingbourn, England and beyond. The most engaging pictures are those taken as bombers left for, or crews returned from combat. The immediacy of the color photography is a great and bracing introduction to research of these mighty aircraft.
