Barrett Tillman is the world’s most prolific US naval aviation
author, having published over two-dozen titles on the World War 2
period alone. He has written numerous books for Osprey in recent
years, and he is currently working on several future projects
too.
An airbrush artist with years of experience, Chris has become
Osprey's principal illustrator of RAF aircraft, having produced the
profiles for over a dozen books since 1994. His most recent work
includeds Aces 27 and 30, and Combat AIrcraft 14 and 19. He is
particularly adept at 'big' aircraft like the Halifax and
Sunderland. Arguably the finest profile artist in the business,
Joan Weal’s love of German aircraft makes his work a treat for
students of the subject. He has written several Aces volumes, and
two books on the JU 87 in the companion series Combat Aircraft. The
late Keith Fretwell was a very skilled aviation artist. He
illustrated numerous books in the Osprey Aircraft of the Aces
series.
This superb book by Barrett Tillman details the Wildcat aces,
begriming with the early pre-war development of the F-4F and the
inauspicious start - begriming with the loss of six Wildcats flying
to Ford Island on the evening of December 7, 1941, two were shot
down by friendly fire in the aftermath of the surprise attack on
the harbor.
