Air News Yearbook - Volume 2
Andrews, Phillip (Editor)
The response to the first volume of AIR NEWS YEARBOOK, published in January, 1943, was so widespread that a completely new edition has been prepared. Following the general style of its predecessor as to large out-size format and editorial layout, AIR NEWS YEARBOOK Volume 2 is even langer and more complete than Volume 1, contains entirely new photographs and extensive chapters on the air forces of the principal world powers. There is a 25,000-word report by General H. H. Arnold on Army aviation from before Pearl Harbor through 1943. Naval aviation in all its branches is similarly treated.
Thousands of exciting and beautiful photographs have been examined from all available sources, and from these some 400 of the most outstanding have been selected. Each photograph is completely documented and all plane types are arranged according to the countries of their origin. AIR NEWS YEARBOOK is a complete compendium in pictures of the world's aircraft and has already taken its place as an indispensable reference book. Printed in sheet-fed gravure and letterpress on fine antique paper, AIR NEWS YEARBOOK Volume 2 presents in word and photographs a comprehensive picture of modern aviation.
