3.0 out of 5 stars
Actually, it is 3.5 stars, nice historical photos, October 17, 2000
This review is from: P-51 Mustang Nose Art Gallery (Paperback)
I was somewhat disappointed in that about 90% of the photos in this book feature just names and not actual nose art like that which was found on the heavy bombers. This is not the fault of the authors, as they had no control of what the airmen painted on their P-51s. Still, looking at the cover, you expect to see more actual "artwork" inside and not just a lot of names.
Having said that, the book is full of great photos showing the airmen with their mustangs side by side. The historical value of these photos is immense and this book is like a mini time capsule to an era when the USAF was fighting pure evil. For the price, it's a nice little book but don't expect to see a lot of the sexy pin-ups featured in here.
