Description
This new book is designed as a guide to the flight clothing and equipment issued to American airmen in Europe, August 1942 (the first bombing mission over France) to May 1945. Hundreds of period photographs and hundreds of detailed pictures of surviving artifacts are included for the fi rst time, introducing the reader to the evolution of this equipment, from the early use of British items, to local modifications, up to the latest technical breakthroughs. In the final chapter, 25 full-color reconstructions illustrate the various guises of these airmen, who liberated Europe from the sky. THIS BOOK IS IN ENGLISH.
ReviewsThis Histoire and Collections book is a must-have for anyone modelling larger scale aircraft with figures, or those modellers who build and paint larger individual figure subjects. For the latter, one couldn"t get a better study of aircrew clothing and gear if scratch-building...simply stunning. * Airfix Model World 01/08/2015 *
