DESCRIPTION:
"Nice aviation art work" according to Rick Morton. this is a collection of comic books with a lot of skilled artistry - all to do with aviators and accurately drawn WWll planes. i wish it was in the original color..

The 10 stories featured in this exciting collection include tales of a flak-blasted night sky over Germany and a twisting and turning Typhoon with a Focke-Wulf in its sights.
