Über diesen Titel

Reseña del editor:

The markings on USAAF 8th Air Force aircraft have become part of the history of the air war. Some designs followed official patterns very strictly; many more were created on the airfield by unit personnel exercising their unconventional artistic talents. Aircraft often bore names related to the crew and their ambitions, or their girl friends, and their identities were displayed proudly in customised nose art It might not have scared the enemy, but it was good for morale and now, fifty years more and on, it is displayed in this full colour book along with Roger Freeman's informative text and captions. No study of the Mighty Eighth is complete without a knowledge of their colour markings: this book meets that need.

Biografía del autor:

As a boy, Roger Freeman watched from his father's farm as the 8th Air Force took off for its missions over Germany; he has had a lifelong interest in the Mighty Eighth ever since, and now lectures on USAAF history, both here and in America.
