P-38 lightning in World War II Color (Enthusiast Color Serie
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
This is an excellent picture book and a very nice introduction to research on the P-38. It features photos taken in color from production shots to training photos, to pictures taken at wartime bases of operation. Also presented are snapshots of pilots and ground crew members, showing a reality that is sometimes lost to black and white photography. Text is informative but not intrusive. I think this is a fine book, and well worth many re-visits. There is also a good B-17 Bomber book in this series, which shows that plane's evolution and increasing armament.
