B-17 Flying Fortress

Michael O'Leary has produced some very good photobooks about WW2 airplanes, and this is one of them. The quality of the colour photographs of the surviving 'Forts' is good to very good and this book gives you 128 pages full of them, showing all surviving (?) 'Forts' in almost every known colour they ever flew.The only thing missing is some WW2 material, and some background text, for the book is focussing soley on photographs of surviving Fortresses. This is hardly surprising as you know that Michael O'Leary took all photographs himself and saw his first Fortress in the early 1960ies. Other Michael O'Leary titles I know of -and own- in this series (all of the same high quality) are about the P-51 Mustang, the Grumman cats and a book about both the P-47 Thunderbolt and the P-38 Lightning. I look forward to buy even more books from him.
