Borders has a store in our mall that was their own and not a Walden Store they took over. It is larger and has even more GREAT War World Two Combat Air Plane Books. I picked up.
1.
The Encyclopedia of World War Two Aircraft. I really like this one because it has several pages on the B-17. clearly giving all the versions and photos of them. It gives detail as to the changes and what they were. It shows the B-17 in various uses by various Air Forces during the war. Some really good information and it was only $9.99 and it is thick.
2.
Campaigns of the World War Two Day by Day.
My father was in the Pacific with the 42 Sq., 11 BGH and it gives good information in this area of war. It was only $5.99.
3.
Aircraft of War World Two in Combat Great photos and illustrations of all the GREAT planes it was only $5.99
4.
Atlas of World War Two
It has great maps and aids to understanding the locations of combat and the campaigns. Again my father was in the Pacific and it has all the Islands and their campaigns clearly indicated. It shows the locations of the Islands in relationship to each other and to Japan. It may have been $6.99
All these books have great color, illustrations and photos. They are paper back, but the covers have a heavier stock to them.
I just remember how much a good book with good illustrations could cost and all these were most reasonable. The book I first posted
Aircraft Anatomy of World War Two was among them at Borders main store. A couple men posted how much they like this book and it too was also something less than $7.00.
