They're shinier and prettier than they were during their combat days, but otherwise completely authentic. Warbirds are lovingly reconditioned fighting aircraft; most were built to serve in the Second World War. In recent years, the caliber of Warbird restoration has risen to new heights. Owners of the birds pay obsessively close attention to the authenticity of their color schemes and, of course, to their working condition. This book of postcards celebrates these historic airplanes and the dedicated people who own and fly them. It's a true labor of love. These images were compiled by the formidably well-informed aviation historian Walter J. Boyne--a career Air Force officer, former director of the National Air and Space Museum, and the author of more than thirty books about aviation history, flight, and technical design. Pomegranate’s books of postcards contain thirty top-quality reproductions bound together in a handy, artful collection. Easy to remove and produced on heavy card stock, these stunning postcards are a delight to the sender and receiver (and probably the mailman, too). ISBN: 0-7649-2118-5; size: 4 3/4 x 6 7/8”. |
