Soaring high above the fields and cities of Europe and Asia, as well as the vast expanse of the Pacific, Allied and Axis pilots of World War II engaged in a deadly battle for control of the skies--whoever won the skies would win the war. Compiled by one of the world's premier aviation photographers and historians, and including rare, masterfully restored images of aircraft like the Supermarine Spitfire, P-51 Mustang, and the Messerschmitt 109, this remarkable volume is a must-have for anyone interested in World War II aviation.
