Tigers Over China

 

Written and illustrated by Thomas A. Tullis, the finest computer aviation artist at work today, Eagle Files #4 supplements the histories and biographies that have been published on the A.V. G. Due to the author's extensive pilot interviews, his incredible amount of reference material on these beautiful airplanes and use of rare, original photos, the aircraft illustrations in this book are among the most accurate yet produced of these famous aircraft.

Combining research with his own artwork, Tullis has created the type of reference book many have searched for, a complete compendium on the colour and markings of the aircraft flown by the American Volunteer Group. Much has been written about the men and missions of the A.V.G., but little has been published documenting the machines they used. Tullis presents a complete colour discussion, full colour Squadron markings for the First, Second and Third Pursuit Squadrons, full colour presentations of the six different shark's mouths, National markings (Chinese roundels) and stencilling.

Eight full colour profiles, a top view plus five black and white profiles based on his collection of photos are beautifully rendered by Tullis.

125 rare, wartime period photos, some colour.

Another "must have" book for the aviation enthusiast.
