• Aircraft of World War II - From the start of World War II, in 1939, to its conclusion six years later, military aircraft developed from prewar biplanes such as the Gloster Gladiator, to classic aircraft-the Messerschmitt Me 109 and the P-51 Mustang-and on to the age of jet warplanes-the Arado Ar 234 and the Gloster Meteor. 600 color and archival photographs perfectly showcase the length and design of each entry. Presented here in mesmerizing detail, these artifacts from the world's first major air battles will fascinate both WWII and military aircraft buffs alike.

• Warbirds International - Magazine devoted to vintage and veteran military aircraft. Provides complete coverage on their operation and restoration, photographs, and articles on salvaging downed aircraft.
• Shot to Hell: Stories and the Photos of Ravaged WWII Warbirds - Most of the photos in this fascinating collection have never before been published, they are well reproduced, and the captions are crisp and infomative. Plus I could not find one error of fact. People who read this sort of material know that in itself is an achievement! Although this is mostly a picture book, the accompanying text flows smoothly and provides a good sense of the times.
