Impressive right off the runway. The Appearance alone is terrific. The Pages are printed on high quality paper. The Book covers are thick, padded and with U.S. Air Force Insignia and a deep blue color. The book is a compilation of historical information from the very beginning of the U.S. Air Force, all the way to its publication date of 2002. Well written, accurate, and with sidebars that provide insights that are usually not included in most books of this type. Most such efforts of this genre are dry, boring, statistic-filled attempts at providing a look at an organization from a numbers, equipment, location and highlight standpoint only. This isn't like that. It is a good read, with personal experiences noted to provide a more well-rounded view of the people that have served in this branch of the U.S. Military.Read full review
Another EXCELLENT Book about the military. Belongs to series of books that was published exclusively for Barnes & Noble, Borders book stores. These books are no longer in print or even available at most of the stores, although they do get a shipment of them in once in a blue moon. They can be found in the Bargain Book selection. Titles are for all branches of the military, ie. (Army, Navy, Air Force, USMC, Coast Gaurd) as well as (Navy Aviation, Us Special Forces, and Submariners). Also published was a companion book for the four major branches, (Army, Navy, Air Force, USMC) that is a COMPLETE history of said branches. HIGHLY recomend collecting the whole set. IF you can find them all. As I said they are no longer in print OR available at most stores. Many people are charging TWICE what the original value of the book was, even for average condition. The books themselves are very informative to there own subjects and come in great binding. The books made for Barnes & Noble all come with a medallion on the front cover depicting each branches coat of arms. The books made for Borders all have an embroidered patch that is very well crafted. All the books come with many excellent pictures, and tell a vivid story about life and times while serving in the military. Once again...its an EXCELLENT buy for anyone who is interested in the military or for those of us that have served over the years.Read full review
