Description

Get a comprehensive look at how World War II used to be fought from the air.

Do you need to get an up-close look at one of the most rarest airplanes on this planet? Are you interested by combat aircraft from World War II? In deluxe hard-back volumes, Flying Warbirds brings U.S., British, German, Russian and Japanese fighting planes from the 1930s and 1940s together, complete with detailed photographs to delight each aeronautics connoisseur.

The airplanes at the Flying Heritage Collection were created at a time when aeronautical discovery had evolved to aviation mastery. Finely crafted by distinguished design bureaus with the leading technologies of the 1930s and 1940s, the main emphasis of the collection includes combat aircraft from World War II.

In 1998, Paul G. Allen began acquiring and preserving these iconic warriors and workhorses, many of which are the last of their kind. Allen’s passion for aviation and history, and his awareness of the increasing rarity of original WWII aircraft, motivated him to restore these artifacts to the highest standard of authenticity.

Periodically, a number of of the exhibits are temporarily absent to take part in an event, for maintenance, or for continuing restoration. Experience one of the crucial world’s top airplane collections any time you like through Flying Warbirds.

Photographs include cockpit shots, exterior museum shots, historic photographs, and breathtaking up to date flying shots from photographers like award-winning John Dibbs. Flying Warbirds is the definitive guide to everything you need to know about this fascinating period in aeronautics and military history.
