From the publisher: Soaring high above the fields and cities of Europe and Asia as well as the vast expanse of the Pacific, Allied and Axis pilots engaged in a deadly battle for control of the skies in World War II. Whoever won the skies would win the war. Published in association with the National Museum of World War II Aviation, Storm of Eagles brings together classic as well as never-before-seen wartime images. Compiled by expert photographers and aviation historians, this remarkable volume is a must-have for anyone interested in the aerial conflicts of World War II.
FSM says: Some of these photos will look familiar while others are previously unpublished, but all are reproduced with hitherto unavailable technology to restore their original, stunning fidelity. This coffee-table compendium melds history with some of the finest photography found in all corners of the war, from Scandinavia to the Solomons and points between, north and south. Modeling references and inspiration abound.
