The book has great pictures and insighful text. The cover has a great picture of a P-40 Tigershark propeller driven airplane used in World War 2. The pictures in the book are color and black and white. I worked for a company that was bidding for the contract on one of the aircraft pictured at the end of the book. We had a full scale model on our back lot a few years ago- something like a second generation Space Shuttle lifting body.
