Customer Reviews

Great photos, a bit weak in the text.

This book is a chronology of the complete restoration of a WWII fighter plane from hunk of junk to flightworthiness. The book is full of photos at various stages of the restoration and the photos tell more than the text ever could. A must-buy for P-38 fans anyone interested in warbird restoration.
