Wonderful reference on U.S. Military Air Corps Uniforms and Insignia. Very informative, great photos. A must have for any collector or historian. Very well worth the money. Another hit!

I thought this would be a good collector book but in fact its extremely weak. The book "only" consists of pictures with limited captions,no detailed info,no pics of different views of the items showing tags (a few lables are shown),manufactures info,constuction detail,etc. I expected to read about gear and equipment but theres nothing but captions.I would love to know the different manufactures and characteristics but theres none listed.Everything in the book you can see on the internet or ebay.If you just want single frontal pictures and maybe a couple side views than this book is your thing. My "opinion" not collector material,sorry.

Great book! Tons of pictures! Which is very nice since the book is about WWII....



Information is just right and I would recommend this book to anyone with an interest with regard to WWII flight gear and clothing.

This is a great book. It contains many high-quality photographs, and provides a good overview of the many types and variations of gear the AAF used. An excellent value.

A great collectors guide. Plenty of clear pictures giving a good coverage of WW2 aviation items. Additional text isn't extensive or going into much detail. No stich counting as such on A-2 jackets, that kind of information must be found in other books like "Hell bent for leather" or other flight gear books. The wonderfull photo's are the strong point of this book and personaly I was waiting for such a book for a long time.
