My grandfather flew in the war. I knew some information already and was happy to see the information was corroborated by this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars Truly a great book for enthusiasts
Reviewed in the United States on October 10, 2000
For my purposes, the book is phenomenal. I often need to know the accompanying Bomb Groups and Squadrons for a given B-24 so that I may paint the nose art on A-2 jackets. As the description states, it does list the Nose Art names with the associated Bomb Groups and Squadrons if available. It does also list the serial numbers for the B-24s and if there is a known picture in existence. I also like that Forman listed the B-24s alphabetically, but also went a step further and listed them by Bombardment group as well which makes it very easy to reference the bombers.
THERE ARE VERY FEW PICTURES IN THIS BOOK, IT IS BASICALLY A LONG LIST OF NAMES AND SERIAL NUMBERS. IF PICTURES IS WHAT YOU WANT, GET "VINTAGE AIRCRAFT NOSE ART" by Gary M Valant AS THAT HAS NEARLY 1000 PICTURES OF DIFFERENT NOSE ART SAMPLES. Incredible amount of information packed into this book. if you're a true WWII buff, get this when you can as it seems to go in and out of print and sometimes is hard to get.

I already knew the bomb group and serial number of B-24s in question wanted to see nose art of silver chief and tequila daisy as my father was radio operator on both,he and crew 715 brought the silver chief over to England in May 1944 and we're shot down in the tequila daisy on 7-11-44 This is only a list of aircraft ( names and numbers ) was hoping for photos of nose art not limited photos in book. But is good for slight research if unknownB-24 is known only by name without any other ID.

5.0 out of 5 stars B-24 Nose Art Directory
Reviewed in the United States on July 19, 2000
A must for B-24 Buffs! Wally has expanded his format to include data on AF Wings and their component bomb groups for most of the USAAF. His B17 Nose Art Directory was concerned with the 8th, 15th, and 20th AFs. And rather than searching the total list for group aircraft he has listed the a/c assigned to each group by group number. Definitely a source book for important data (names, serial numbers, photo availability) on this aircraft.
