for the latest

This is an excellent example of military artwork at its best. Gives the reader an excellent background on the thought process behind each of Trudgian's masterpieces. I own 11 separate prints of his and this book is a welcome addition to my Trudgian collection. Highly recommend this book to any WW2 historian or fan.    You'll almost feel as if you're there, breaching the Mohne Dam in 1943, celebrating victory with a Spitfire Squadron, or making a first strike on Berlin. The legends of air combat come alive once again in these 30 extraordinary full-color paintings by acclaimed artist Nicholas Trudgian. Here are some of the most important battles and bombers in modern warfare -- including the Luftwaffe defending the Third Reich and a "Dawn Chorus" of Lightning planes soaring over the countryside, bathed in morning light. Preliminary sketches accompany some, and exciting historical commentaries place the paintings in context.

Caidin. 

The Lockheed P-38 Lightning is known today as a fighter airplane, but in fact it was designed to intercept and destroy enemy bombers. But, from the first test  flights, the plane that was to become the P-38 made it clear that it truly was a new  generation fighter. And it demanded a new kind of pilot - one who could handle the kind of firepower and speed that foreshadowed the modern jet fighter. Here is the story of pilot and plane in development and in combat, as they swept the skies of  Europe, North Africa, and the Pacific. A magnificent story of one of the finest  weapons to be applied in WWII. 304 pgs., 5¼"x 8¼", sfbd.
