Profusely illustrated with 225 Kodachrome color photographs, twelve 22-inch color photographic foldout pages and four Bob Boyd color profiles (and no cross-guttered images). "For the past several years Jeffrey Ethell has been known for his remarkable success in finding elusive and rare World War II color Kodachrome slides, all shot by veterans who were involved. Incredibly, the more he finds, the more they surface. In writing several books using this treasure, he has long desired to produce a history of wartime aviation, the ultimate aircraft lover's window to the past, using his most impressive and vivid images, without restraint. Thanks to the foresight and enthusiasm of Warren Bodie at Widewing Publications, War Eagles is the amazing result. With 225 Kodachromes, twelve 22-inch foldout pages, four Bob Boyd color profiles and no cross-guttered images, the book traces that amazing period from 1939 through 1945 when aviation was driven by nations trying to best each other in the sky. Industry finally left its nostalgic love affair with wood and fabric to build sleek aluminum stressed skin machines capable of undreamed of speeds and altitudes. Until the author began finding such a long-overlooked wealth of color, that era has remained shrouded in black and white. Unlike modern color film, ASA 10 Kodachrome had five emulsions and was virtually grainless. As a result, the images are so strikingly clear and free of distortion some find it hard to believe the original slides have not been computer enhanced or colorized. The author and the publisher guarantee they have not tampered with the images in any way. The reader is looking straight into the past as it was. In the author's opinion, modern film pales by comparison in quality and depth of color. And, unlike other current warbird books, not a single recently restored aircraft is featured. Accurate, hard-hitting, vivid text and extended captions match the beautifully reproduced images in impact. As this 50-year-old Kodachrome keeps appearing in an archival adventure that reads like a Hollywood script, War Eagles is planned to be the first of many Widewing books on World War II in unprecedented full color." - from the inner front jacket flap. Boyd, Bob (color art work); Ethell, Julie (book design) (illustratore).
