This groundbreaking photo history features fabulous, never-before-published Kodachrome photography of the development of new warbirds preceding America's involvement in WWII. Planes include both those that would become legends and those that would never progress beyond prototypes, as well as the men and women who kept the effort rolling. The photography comprises a mix of official military imagery, as well as shots taken by aviation enthusiasts for private collections. All images are accompanied by authoritative text.

WWII American War Eagles book includes the dazzling combination of brilliant Kodachrome color photos and Warren Bodie's writing makes this a great book for connoisseurs of aviation history. Great photographers such as Rudy Arnold, Hans Groenhof and Fred Bamberger supply startling images of a glorious prewar period during which Americans were convinced of their country's air superiority. The war years and their hard lessons were in the future, and the country could glory in the supposedly deadly prowess of the Bell Airacuda and the Brewster Buffalo. Of particular value are the photos of exceedingly rare aircraft, including the Seversky SEV3M-WW in Colombian markings.
