The Second World War saw the apex of piston-engine aircraft design,
and ushered the world into the jet age. Anybody who studies
aviation will know the names: Spitfire, Mustang, Zero,
Messerschmitt, Shturmovik. But there were many more aircraft to
take to the skies before and during the war, and frequently their
stories remain unknown. This book seeks to tell those stories, to
bring to the fore the forgotten warbirds. From the valiant Poles
fighting the might of the Luftwaffe in their obsolescent craft, to
the varied and excellent craft of the French Armee De l'Air, to the
graceful craft of Italy's Regia Aeronautica. With stops around the
globe, this book seeks to tell the tales of the forgotten or the
doomed or the never-quites. The stories of these aircraft, drawn
from Allies and Axis nations alike, bring forth a fuller picture of
aviation during the greatest airborne conflict in world history.
Telling these stories will give readers an interesting, and
informative, look into the past-with personal reflections and a
call to arms for the study of history itself.
