Author Jeffrey Ethell has gathered a unique collection of 181 rare color photographs from former U.S. pilots and ground crews in Europe, North Africa, Italy, New Guinea, and the Pacific. Their experiences, captured on vintage Koda-hrome, counterbalance the newsreel footage,photojournalism, and photographic archives that have contributed to World War II being pictured in black and white.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003ePresented here in full color are open-cockpit\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBiplanes used in training, Catalinas, B-17 Flying Fortresses and B-29 Superfortresses (including the Enola Gay, which dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima), C-47 Skytrains (“Dakotas\"), A-36 Invaders, B-24s, B-26 Marauders, P-38 Lightnings, P-40s, P-47 hunderbolts, P-51 Mustangs, F4U Corsairs, F6F Hellcats (the first U.S. planes to beat the Japanese Zeros), British Spitfires with American insignia, and many of the other planes that saw action.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThese exceptional images are accompanied by first person narratives involving the men and machines during the war.
