"From national insignia, squadron markings and number/letter combinations nose art evolved into more personalized artwork, and individual pilots began sporting colourful, even outrageous schemes. Stephen Fochuk has devoted himself to a study of Canadian Air Force history, and has in this volume amassed a mammoth photographic collection of aircraft sporting nose art. The images evoke a powerful sense of spirit, courage and bravado of these young aviators." - dust jacket. 191 pages. Index. Bibliography. Clean, bright and unmarked with negligible wear.
