Review

"The book is very well illustrated by high quality contemporary and more current photographs, aircraft profiles, maps, and reproduced documents. This provides its main value for English speakers, for whom the text might be otherwise be limited to high school French."--Charles Melson "U.S. Marine Corps University"
