This book is a great resource if you want to learn about all the different pilot wings of WWII. It covers all the participating countries and their associated wings. The information in the book is excellent and thorough. It was privately published in the early 80s and was limited by technology and budget to black & white photos. There are countless black and white photos but some are a bit dark due to the difficulties in photographing some of the metals used in wing manufacturing and the printing process itself. It is, overall, an excellent book and worthy of buying.
