Description
Two life-long friends and students of Curtiss aircraft have combined their unparalleled research into the evolution of Curtiss fighters to produce a directory that will serve as a standard for the subject. Making use of primary Curtiss documents, as well as the combined resources of the world's leading historians of the subject, Dean and Hagedorn have skillfully resolved myths and woven a comprehensive study of the often very confusing story of these classic airplanes.
Making use of previously unpublished documents and photographs, this massive, life-long work will stand as a legacy to the memory of those wonderful shapes, the men and women who built them, flew them and took them to war, and the lasting contributions they have made, collectively, to aviation history and the defense of democracy.
