Summary: Excellent quality, but not as good as it could have been.
Comment: American Eagles is a history of the United States Air Force, the world's most powerful air arm, from the Wright Brothers to Desert Storm. It contains many photographs of aircraft that served in World War II and in other conflicts. My favorite section is the one on Experimental planes. But this is not perfect. It does contain photographs of aircraft from the U.S. Air Force Musuem. But most of them are of sections of the aircraft. Only a few are shown complete in the pictures. The book also does contain a history of the musuem, but only a two page writing part and some pictures. For info on the Air Force musuem, don't get this. But for a history of nearly a century of air power, what are you waiting for?

Summary: Beautiful photos. Chronicles history of U.S. Air Force
Comment: This large beautiful book chronicles the growth and development of the U.S. Air Force as an organization, from the beginnings of flight to the present. It is much more than an air combat book.

The story begins before there was an Army Air Corps, with a history of flight from the pre-Wright Bros. era. The progress in aircraft, the men who built & flew them & the role of air power in military strategy are extensively covered.

The highlights of this book are the hundreds of wonderful color photos from the U.S. Air Force museum. Close-ups of aircraft, engines, cockpits and aviation art take great advantage of this unique resource.

Combat is not ignored however, as the Air Force's role in every major conflict is detailed with many action photos. This is a comprehensive and complete history of the highest quality.
