Description

Though Bicentennial aircraft schemes and markings, along with many of the aircraft of that period, have all but faded into obscurity, this colorful volume not only preserves their images, but reflects the spirit that prevailed during that historic period in U.S. aviation history. Presented here for the first time are the vivid, patriotic colors and schemes worn by aircraft during a time when the nation, still trying to purge itself of Vietnam, was swept with overdue patriotism; a time that compelled legions in civil and military air service to proudly “wave their flag” by decorating the aircraft that were their livelihood, or simply their hobby.

One can only marvel at the meticulously-applied designs that transformed many aircraft into flying billboards of Americana.

This volume is a boon to aviation enthusiasts, historians and modelers alike.

Wayne Mutza is also the author of Grumman Albatross, and Lockheed P2V Neptune (both titles are available from Schiffer Publishing Ltd.).
