About this title

Review:

As you thumb through this book, you'll swear you can smell oil and av-gas. The cockpit photographs are superb ... you can not only read every tiny placard, but see where a mechanic's screwdriver slipped in while tightening up an access panel. The writer [Donald Nijboer] and photographer Dan Patterson have triumphed in recording the "offices" of 37 front-line aircraft of World War II.
