5.0 out of 5 stars TREMENDOUS COLLECTION OF NOSE ART PHOTOGRAPHS, March 31, 2000
This review is from: Vintage Aircraft Nose Art (Hardcover)
Phenomenal book for the ages. Valant does an incredible job not only preserving the rich history of WWII nose art, and whenever possible, he also list Bomb Groups and Squadrons to accompany the photographs. THIS IS A COLLECTION OF PHOTOGRAPHS, not a lot of written material on the history of WWII pinups. This is a great collection for the collector as it also has some pictures of the old A-2 Leather bombers with the pin-up art painted on them as well. Easily worth the money. Get it before it goes out of print.

5.0 out of 5 stars A must have for all Aviation buffs., March 17, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: Vintage Aircraft Nose Art (Hardcover)
This book is excelent! The first time I looked through this book it was like going through a time machine. To sell all of those black, white, and color photos, and thinking that the majority of the airplanes where shot down was very majestic. Then I turned to one page and it had a photo of a B-29 named "Were Wolf" and I remember seeing that exact photo at my granfather's house, the nose art was from my grandfather's brother's plane. It's an honor to have his plane's photo in the book. This book is a must have for all aviation buffs.
