4.0 out of 5 stars
An Interesting Book
I had first bought a copy of this book as a present for a fellow nose-art/pin up fan, after flipping through it I decided that I would buy myself a copy as well. This book comes in several editions, all seem to be hard cover but with different dust jacket, (my friend's is the one with the P-40 Shark-mouth, my preferred version)but as far as I can tell there is no...

Great photos, but that's it
A nice coffee table book with some excellent photography of aircraft nose art from WWI to modern day. However the text is frustratingly shallow and often misinformed about the subject matter of the art itself. Let the pictures tell the story and skip the text.

This review is from: Aircraft Nose Art: 80 Years of Aviation Artwork (Hardcover)
I had first bought a copy of this book as a present for a fellow nose-art/pin up fan, after flipping through it I decided that I would buy myself a copy as well. This book comes in several editions, all seem to be hard cover but with different dust jacket, (my friend's is the one with the P-40 Shark-mouth, my preferred version)but as far as I can tell there is no appreciable difference in the content. As the other reviewer stated there is only a minimal amount of text, and some of it is wrong, but that seems to be an issue with many historic photo books, so I would not count that against the book. I am mostly interested in the art and images as a model plane builder, it serves as inspiration for decals, so for that or as a casual interest in airplane art this is a good book. If, however, you are looking for in-depth information on the artist,planes and/or history this is not the right book. Luckily this is an affordably priced book, so you will be able to fill out your collection.
