Fighter!: Ten Killer Planes of World War II
Plunge into the action, and marvel at ten of the best and best-known World War II fighter aircraft!There's no shortage of fantastic archival aviation photography from World War II.

From design and weaponry to the daring... [Read More]

Dumb but Lucky!: Confessions of a P-51 Fighter Pilot in World War II
Second lieutenant Dick Curtis arrived in Italy in May 1944–twenty years old and part of a shipment of P-51 Mustang fighter pilots so desperately needed that they were rushed into combat with less than thirty hours of flight time in their new high-performance aircraft.Six of the twelve pilots assigned to the 52nd Fighter Group were shot down in the first two weeks. By his ninth mission, Curtis was the only one still flying. A maverick, he barely escaped court-martial with his high-flying antics. Escorting bombers sent to pound heavily defended oil fields was risky enough, but strafing the ene... [Read More]

Over Fields of Fire: Flying the Sturmovik in Action on the Eastern Front 1942-45 (Soviet Memories of War)
During the 1930s the Soviet Union launched a major effort to create a modern Air Force. That process required training tens of thousands of pilots. Among those pilots were larger numbers of young women, training shoulder to shoulder with their male counterparts. A common training program of the day involved studying in 'flying clubs' during leisure hours, first using gliders and then training planes. Following this, the best graduates could enter military schools to become professional combat pilots or flight navigators. The author of this book passed through all of those stages and had become...

Hawker Typhoon: The Combat History
The Hawker Typhoon was the epitome of ground-attack aircraft during the Second World War.Originally intended to be a replacement for The Hurricane, The Hawker Typhoon entered service with the RAF during 1941.

Armed with ro... [Read More]
