Paperback. World War Two spawned the evolution of many different aircraft, as air forces fought not only to control the skies but to destroy their enemies on the ground as well. Many of these aircraft survived the war, some in better shape than others, and over the decades, many have been painstakingly restored and made airworthy again. With over 150 photographs of these restored aircraft, and an examination of the restoration process, including interviews with the people involved, this book shows history brought to life once more. Over 20 aircraft types, including Mitchells, Spitfires, Mustangs and even a Japanese Zero, are shown as they take to the skies once more, in tribute to the veterans who flew them under the harshest of conditions. This book showcases over 150 images of some of the best restored World War Two aircraft that have been made airworthy again. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
