[Sean · Rating 4 out of 5]

Nice collection of the CAF's planes. Stories about their restoration process and some battle stories. When this book was written in 1990, the CAF was the Confederate Air Force. It is now known as the Commemorative Air Force https://commemorativeairforce.org/ They do a fantastic job showcasing planes at airshows. The book does not have a table of contents or glossary. Nice silhouettes of the planes are located in the back of the book. The pictures of the planes are rather raw. I do like the fact there there are MANY pictures throughout the book. I greatly appreciate the work the CAF does to make these planes available for generations to come.
