A comprehensive reference on the American aces of the post-WWI period: the Spanish Civil War, Sino-Japanese War, WWII, the Korean War, and the Vietnam War. The great bulk of the volume is devoted to some 1,400 biographies of individual fighter pilots, with introductory notes providing place and date of birth, previous and later military service, and awards and decorations. The author has researched the claims of the pilots, and the biographies include a full list of all claims made by date, time, type, location, and type of aircraft flown together with (in many cases) the serial/Buno of the aircraft flown to achieve the claim, and a note of the author's sources. Includes some 350 glossy photographs. Annotation c. by Book News, Inc., Portland, Or.
