During
WWII, the Germans had developed one of the first jet aircraft
used in (very limited) combat. The infamous ME262. Trumpeter
Models has issued a 1:32 (large) scale offering of this jet,
and the great part is that is is a clear view "Visible"
cutaway kit. Wow! This kit shows the inside technology and really
gives builders a lot of room for super detailing.

Gunner:
An Illustrated History of World War II Aircraft Turrets and
Gun Positions - The amazing quality of the pictures in
this book is stunning. Close up photography is something
special and the authors of this book have braught this up
to a new level. They took pictures of planes that I've seen
in real life as well and these pictures took me back to that
moment. The anekdotes of World War 2 veterans make this book
even more worthwile and in combination with a similar book
(Cockpit) by the same authors this book is a must for airplane
and World War 2 enthusiasts.

and most recently in Afghanistan. Bill Sweetman is an internationally
acclaimed expert and credited by Tom Clancy as being "a
Genius."

Liberator Combat Legend - The most prolific American aircraft
built during World War II, the B-24 Liberator was flown
in more theaters of war by more air forces than any other
four-engine bomber. Winston Churchill used a single-fin Liberator

the Allies around the world.
