See the insignia, markings, camouflage, and colors of the 1939-45 air squadrons in photographic detail! Because of the dearth of color photography at the time, most of these particulars have appeared only in artwork. Yet these 350 genuine images show the bright red engine cowling rings, yellow propeller bosses, and gray paint of many World War II aircraft. An exhibit of group and squadron insignia reveals humor, individuality, and attitude. 160 pages, 300 color illus., 8 1/2 x 11.

Great resource !,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Mighty Eighth: Warpaint & Heraldry (Hardcover)
"The Mighty Eighth: War Paint and Heraldry" is a great source of information on the aircraft of the USAAF. I read anything I can get my hands on about this subject, most recently, "The Triumph and the Glory" a great novel about a Fortress pilot, "Raiding the Reich", and Harry Crosby's excellent memoir of the Bloody Hundredth. Freeman's book is a great companion to any history or novel about the Eighth, the pictures make the past come to life again.
