Articoli correlati a Mighty Eighth Warpaint and Heraldry
The markings on USAAF 8th Air Force aircraft have become part of the history of the air war. Some designs followed official patterns very strictly; many more were created on the airfield by unit personnel exercising their unconventional artistic talents. Aircraft often bore names related to the crew and their ambitions, or their girl friends, and their identities were displayed proudly in customised nose art It might not have scared the enemy, but it was good for morale and now, fifty years more and on, it is displayed in this full colour book along with Roger Freeman's informative text and captions. No study of the Mighty Eighth is complete without a knowledge of their colour markings: this book meets that need.
