GREAT MARITIME PATROL AIRCRAFT OF THE WORLD: From the Curtiss "America" to the Kawasaki P-1

This is an action-filled, illustrated history of 17 history-making aircraft, bringing to life the stories of their creation and of the men who flew and fought in them. Each chapter then goes beyond the story of the aircraft to relate the experiences of their pilots and aircrew--how the machine resonated in their hands and in their hearts.
