Description

Featuring the collection of airplanes, art, photographs, and memorabilia of the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force at Wright-Patterson Air Force Base near Dayton, Ohio, this magnificently illustrated book tells the story of the beginnings of flight, through the creation of the U.S. Air Force as a separate branch of the military, to the unbelievable technological achievements of what is the preeminent air power in the world today. Here are combat aces, Medal of Honor recipients, crusty generals, and average citizens who served in the Air Force. There are philosophers, airplane designers, test pilots, rocket scientists, armorers, and grease monkeys. More than 250 color and 150 black- and-white illustrations and photos and insightful text present the story of the U.S. Air Force of yesterday, today, and tomorrow, published on the occasion of the seventy-fifth anniversary of the United States Air Force and the one hundredth anniversary of the National Museum of the U.S. Air Force..

  • Awesome book!
Great quality with beautiful photographs.

  • A compilation of a series of pictures of USAF aircraft.
As a reader, I have looked at aircraft which never made the book due to their not be slotted in the museum timely. The double MIG KILLING F-15C was not slotted in the museum because of service delays. HH-60G, Sukhoi SU-27 and KC-10 not slotted in museum. Plus, I didn't see a picture of the HH-53.

  • Incredible!
To say this book is gorgeous is an understatement. Patterson's photos are some of the best aviation photography I have ever seen, and when you pair them with historical text documenting the history of the USAF, behind the scene info for the USAF museum, and info on numerous veterans, this book as an absolute must-own for any aviation enthusiast. ... show more

A fabulous collection of photographs and text! You can open it to any page and jump right in, as it's photos draw you in, and the insightful text is compelling, easy to read and understand. This is a great book for anyone interested in flight, American history, or the Air Force.
