"...packed with high-quality, large format images, 'Flying
Warbirds' is a close look at the remarkable collection of Flying
Heritage Collection" - Aviation Week
"Graff's writing is so good that even a person not inspired by
aircraft will come to love these Flying Warbirds, and all readers
will learn from as well as admire the book's outstanding images." -
Travel for Aircraft, Seattle Post-Intelligencer
"This reasonably priced coffee table book is loaded with
outstanding photos of nineteen historic military aircraft owned by
the Flying Heritage Collection. An operational history accompanies
each warbird, including where it was acquired, and restored. Flying
characteristics and the choice of paint schemes and national
insignia are described. The full color cockpit and engine photos
are intriguing, and a personal favorite of mine. Historical black
white images enhance the readers understanding of the operational
use of these now rare aircraft. The author does an outstanding job
of blending eye catching photographs with a well written history
that will hold the attention of every warbird expert, and casual
reader alike." - AircraftWrecks.com
