“This astonishing collection captures the ‘greatest generation’ of warbirds … the ultimate resource on combat aircraft in the twentieth century.”
—Flying Models
From dogfights to bombing runs, reconaisence to supply drops, America’s indominatable spirit in the air has been as much a testiment to the majestic aircraft that have crowded runways, carriers, and hangars as it has been to the pilots who have strapped themselves in the cockpit.
A photographic history spanning a century of innovation in military aviation, Warbirds features forty of America’s greatest combat aircraft from World War I to the modern era.
This astonishing collection captures the “greatest generation” of warbirds—the restored B-17s, B-24s, P-38s, P-47s, P-51s, transports, trainers, bombers, and fighters—close-up at rest or flashing in action by a premier air-to-air aviation photographer. Each of the 250 photographs, 200 in color, is accompanied by detailed information on the pictured aircraft, its pilot, crew, and unique history, making this volume the ultimate resource on combat aircraft in the twentieth century.

Reviews of Warbirds
“From dogfights to bombing runs, Warbirds features a photographic history of 40 of America's greatest combat aircraft from World War I to today.”
—Sport Aviation
“We loved this book because it’s filled with great photos of warbirds of all types and captions only … there’s page upon page of fantastic photos of beautiful airplanes. The collection captures the ‘greatest generation’ of warbirds close-up, at rest, or flashing in action by a premier air-to-air aviation photographer … It would make a great Christmas gift for a warbird fanatic.”
—Pacific Flyer
“At first blush, this looks like another compilation of photos, but this one is a little different … Author and aviation photographer Max Haynes has compiled a nice array of contemporary airshow photos that effectively catalog the aircraft you’re likely to see at your local airshow … If you’re an average airshow enthusiast, or even a modeler wanting to see some different perspectives from restored examples, this title is inexpensive, small enough to fit in a backpack or purse, and worth having around to keep those ‘experts’ honest.”
