The Corsair was a powerful aircraft, capable of standing up to the demands of carrier operations in the Pacific and combat operations in WW2 and beyond. The life of some of them has gone on beyond that, and they remain popular air racers to this day, some of which are included among the images. Lots to interest the aviation historian/enthusiast along with some excellent detail that modellers will love. Another good addition to the Images of War series.

It is clear from the book that a lot of research and work has gone into this book by the author, who should be praised for such information and hard work. Now I am not of the age of the era, but being an avid fan I learnt a lot more than I expected. I had thought it would be a quick read in a night, but in reality, I spent the whole weekend reading from front to back and thoroughly enjoyed it. A book I heartedly recommend.

I knew the history of the Chindits, but I had never seen many of the photos in the book, and I find them beautiful! A worthy tribute to a "forgotten army".

There is lot here to interest the tank enthusiasts and modellers alike. Always nice when they are presented by an author who has a good knowledge of his subjects.
