This isn't your ordinary aviation history book. Featuring the award-winning Aerocatures™ of renowned aviation artist Hank Caruso, this book presents a unique combination of humor, history, and attitude. Hank's personality-driven artistry blends technical accuracy, mission substance, and aviator character in a way that is quite different from "conventional" aviation art. This book contains a one-of-a-kind collection of nearly 50 World War II-inspired Aerocatures™, featuring many well-known—and some obscure—aircraft of the era. The Aerocatures™ in this collection are accompanied by an equally unique assortment of archival art from World War II. These illustrations were sourced from aviation ads, magazine covers, and kids' books. They provide a fascinating caricature of America's spirit and focus during the war years. Aviation buffs, curious youngsters, and anyone who ever felt their heart race at the sights and sounds of an air show will find this book fascinating and rewarding. It's a unique gift for friends and relatives—or for yourself! Hardcover, 8.5"x11", 96 pp. ISBN 978-1-940169-16-3 |
