Review "Just about every aircraft in this book have nose art; between the photos and colorful profiles, this alone is worth the price of admission."-- "IPMS/USA""[A]nother fine volume in the series... youll find all sorts of nose art: dragons, wolves, ducks, beavers, panthers, falcons, tigers, text, and pin-ups."-- "Historical Miniatures Gaming Society""It all makes for a superb reference book for the modeler and enthusiast and well worth the price of admission. I very much like this series and look forward to each new volume.
