Fighting Colors - Glory Days of US Aircraft Markings (Airlife)

Fighting Colors is a celebration of glorious color in the modern era of drab, "low-viz" military aircraft markings.

Within is a spectacular collection of the most colorful markings to grace US military planes in the last fifty years: cocky names and nose art, vibrant group and squadron colors, grinning shark's teeth, multi-hued Navy CAG birds, Air Force Boss Birds, Bicentennial flagships and "high-viz" trainers.

More than eighty color photos show these spectacular markings on everything from a Boeing P-12E biplane fighter from the thirties to the F-14 Tomcats of today.

Military aviation expert Robert F Dorr has assembled a superb gallery of glowing color photos, putting them in perspective with a lively history of US aircraft markings to tell the complete story of the maverick marking known as Fighting Colors.
