Sure it has to be the ultimate story, 450 pages for an aircraft produced in so little numbers!
Looks very nice.

I ordered a copy of this book. I got it yesterday but was disappointed to find that the cover had been changed completely. I was looking forward to reading about a gorgeous blonde female pilot flying an F-5 Lightning and escorting our bombers over Europe.
It is misleading

Finally got around to getting Shattered Sword. Now to read it ...

It's a fantastic piece of research and writing. My kind of history, reviewing "accepted" perspectives and challenging them based on detailed research and understanding.

That's what I gathered. I spent a few months last year poking around Tully's Port, a forum mainly dedicated to the Pacific naval war, and many of the quoted snippets struck me as very thoughtful and nuanced -- not always common in books about battles.
An added benefit was that Mr Tully participated in some discussion and brought, again, a lot of thoughtful and nuanced points to the conversations.
On those two strengths, I reckoned it was high time I got it. I need to finish up my current reading before delving into it -- I'm a hundred pages into a book about the history of the electric guitar, lol.
I read somewhere that at least one of the authors has adjusted one or two of the findings revealed in the book (as new information was found?). Which I could find it again, print it out and put it with the book.

Haven't put this down since I got it. Fascinating history behind the Flying Tigers.

I picked up a copy of that a number of years ago that had been passed around at an AVG reunion….lotsa signatures.

Are the old Aerospace Historian Magazines any good? I have a chance to pick up 19 issues at a good price. I haven't seen one myself.

Any thing that old is good for trading material with other collectors.
