Happily, there is today a greater awareness of the value of such treasures, and that awareness is being channeled not just to static preservation in Museums, laudable though many of them are but to the maintenance and creation of airworthy aircraft – warbirds. It represents the combat aircraft and pilot at their purest, man and machine unfettered by the electronic gadgetry of modern push-button fire-and-forget warfare. Currently, many fine examples of restored World War 2 and Korean War aircraft grace our skies. This book attempts to illustrate most of them and recall an era in history whose lessons, hopefully, will not be forgotten. The contributors [The photographers] trust that you, the reader, will enjoy it. 2b] The Superbirds Chapters:Wild Horses: P-51 MustangBird of Prey: P-40 WarhawkSea Fighters: F8 Bearcat, F6 Hellcat, F4 WildcatAir Pirate: F4U CorsairStormy Weather: P-47 Thunderbolt and P-38 LightningLight Fantastic 1: TBM AvengerLight Fantastic 2: AD SkyraiderMedium Marvel: B-25 MitchellMedium Marvel: A-26 InvaderMedium Cool: PV-2 Harpoon, B-26 Marauder, A-20 HavocHeavyweight Champion 1: B-17 Flying FortressHeavyweight Champion 2: B-24 LiberatorHeavyweight Champion 3: B-29 SuperfortressThese books are beautifully written in a very readable way, clearly articulating the ‘passion and commitment’ of the Pilots and the Ground and Technical Crews. The ‘hallmark features’ of these books that excited Aviation Collectors were the outstanding qualitative photographs taken while flying in close formation, or beautifully static on the ground. The photographs and the beautiful narrative ‘place you right there as another observer participant’ in a way that many publications prior had tried to achieve. There were many iconic Space and Aviation restorations and airshows in the 20th Century. The Supershow and Superbirds photographers were right there to bring the aircraft involved to the interested public.
