Superbirds 'Gunfighters Bomb Haulers' - An Osprey British First Edition Hardback Published 1990.
Shipping within Australia is included and Worldwide for only a nominal fee as my gift to you.
Outstanding in its larger format, these are some of the great aviation photographs of the late 1980s and 1990s recognised as some of the best of all time and taken by Professional Aviation Photographers who know their craft.
Superbirds contains aviation photographs by Michael O'Leary; Norman Pealing and Mike Jerram.
This is one of the most ‘historically important’ Aviation Photography records reflecting the beauty and commitment to restored aircraft in that era, and the fantastic photography skills with the cameras that had become available in the 1980s and 1990s which were far superior to the cameras of the 1950s; 1960s and 1970s.
Increasing the impact of the photographs is that Superbirds 'Gunfighters Bomb Haulers' is a larger format size book at 9 5/8th" inches [24.3cms] wide by 12" inches [30.5cms] height approx.
Superbirds 'Gunfighters Bomb Haulers' is from my stored private library and read twice only.

Collectors' Hint - Acquisition of 'Rare' Historical Offerings!
I now try to obtain 'rare' offerings when they appear as I lost out on a few key Historical Pieces due to hesitating.
One was an X-15 photograph signed by 11 of the 12 surviving X-15 Pilots at the time, one being Neil Armstrong. I have never seen a similar opportunity again during the past 25 years.
I suggest when an opportunity presents itself; please make the decision as to your collection focus and then act so you do not miss out!
Note: This is serious and enjoyable premium quality Art Space and Aviation Collecting. If an offer is to be made, please understand the offer needs to be very seriously ‘close’!
