Reviews

I can recommend this book to modelers, aviation historians and those looking for a nice tome for their coffee table. The photographs alone are worth the price of admission! All will like it and find useful information within its covers. - <i>IPMS</i></p> In all, it makes for an excellent combination history/photo book that no fan of the subject or war birds in general should be without. - <i>Modeling Madness</i></p> If you appreciate the graceful curves of Supermarine's fighter and eye-popping photography, you'll love this book. - <i>Fine Scale Modeler</i></p>
