Reviews

'...beautifully-produced coffee table book..' * RAF News * The authors . . . have succeeded in putting together a highly illustrated volume which covers the artists' lives while at the same time relating the aviation history of the era. Reproduction of the illustrations . . . is every bit as good as you'd hope. The text reads well and is genuinely informative and interesting. * Aeroplane Magazine *
