Polc, Jan American Aircraft of World War II

New from "Guideline Licensed Publications" is this innovative collection of artworks and scale drawings culled from the famous "Warpaint" series and collected in a single volume presenting eight iconic US military aircraft types from the Second World War. The "Warpaint" series has grown into one of the most authoritative and comprehensive encyclopaedias of military aviation in print today. Compiled by artist Jan Polc this latest series gathers together the colour profiles and line drawings from selected volumes with a common theme, and presents the reader interested more in camouflage and markings than the history and development of the aircraft with a wide selection of choices upon which to base a modelling project.
