Modern nose art from such aircraft as B-1Bs, B-52s, F-111s, C-135s,  KC-10s, fighters, etc. In most cases, the artwork has since been removed from the  aircraft, making this book an important record for the model builder and historian. 450  photos, 128 pgs., 9"x 12", sfbd.

The B-52, known by both its official name, Stratofortress, and by the acronym BUFF (meaning not printable here!), has been the airborne leg of the U.S. strategic  triad for more than 40 years. Here is its history with 125 photos and several 3-view drawings. Covers Vietnam, the Gulf... even work for NASA. 58 pgs., 8 color profiles,  11"x 8¼", sfbd.
Great for Model Builders
