Description: WINGS OF THE ALLIES VOLUME ONEby Mark Proulx, 36 pages This new series will continue in the successful Wings of the Black Cross format, first created by Jerry Crandall many years ago. The books will showcase aircraft flown during World War II by the United States, Russia, Britain, and her Commonwealth partners. Aircraft from the European, Russian, Mediterranean and North African Theaters are included throughout. A broad spectrum of World War II Allied aircraft is presented, from fighters, fighter-bombers, medium and heavy bombers. More specifically in this initial volume: P-38 LightningP-47 ThunderboltP-51 MustangI-16 RataLaGG-3MiG-3Yak-3Hawker HurricaneSupermarine SpitfireHawker Typhoon and Tempestde Havilland MosquitoA-20 HavocB-25 MitchellA-26 InvaderB-26 MarauderTupolev SB-2Ilyushin DB-3B-17 Flying FortressB-24 LiberatorHandley Page HalifaxAt the close of each book, there will be a brief section titled, “A Closer Look”. The author will provide a focused look at aircraft types, campaigns, squadrons, or groups from World War II that may be of interest to the reader. In the first release, photographs of B-24s of the famed Ploesti Raid (Operation Tidal Wave) of 1 August 1943, are included. The book consists of 64 photos of Allied Aircraft from the European Air War sourced from the author’s private collection. All are original without computer enhanced imagery or colorization. Most are unpublished and presented here for the first time. A few select contributors have generously provided photos from their private collections. Each photo is supported with detailed captions. All books are entirely in English unless noted otherwise. Winner pays $5.25 shipping within the US. I combine purchases and the rate goes way down after the first book purchased.

I SHIP ANYWHERE ON THIS PLANET.Be assured, though I may not always have the lowest price, you will not get any cheap bookclub editions from me on ebay. I've been selling books for many many years and I can spot cheap bookclubs a mile away. Hand me a book and I'll tell you straight off if it's a bookclub edition. Sometimes it can be hard for most booksellers to know if it's a bookclub, like university press books. They don't normally put the price on the jacket for the publisher's edition, but most of them do use full or partial cloth binding, whereas the bookclub edition will be simply cheap board covers. Though let's face it, most of the publisher's editions these days aren't all that great in quality either, the bookclubs are even worse! Please look at my ebay store where many similar titles are available.
