Texans and Trojans Magazine, January 1998
The story of the B-25 in civilian service. Thompson lists the individual histories of all these B-25s. It shows FAA listed owners, civilian use as fire bombers, corporate transport, test beds, movie work and their eventual fate. The book should be a valuable tool for the historian and enthusiast alike. Many, many photos both color and black and white.

Fly Past Magazine, July 1998
Those who like their Warbirds on the larger side will already cherishing Scott's "Final Cut", the story of the postwar B-17s. Scott has a keen eye for detail, an academic approach to presenting source material clearly and his works read well. Here are details of executive conversions, research, and development B-25s, air tankers and, of course, of their "new" working life as Warbirds. There is a tribute to Paul Mantz and his airborne cameraships, and lashings of materials on B-25s in firms, including the "full monty" on that outstanding movie, "Catch-22". Lavishly illustrated, the book includes detailed appendices and individual histories of the aircraft.
