Thumbs up Re: The 5th Fighter Command in World War II

I just got my copy. A large format book, 447 pages long (not 352, as advertised), it really looks impressive. Unfortunately many photos are of poor quality, cropped and grainy, including some well-known shots, which seems a little strange, since I'm sure they are available at NARA at higher resolution. Also color profiles, as usually in most Schiffer books, look terribly amateurish (they should get someone like Janusz Swiatlon for that job). Anyway, I'm sure the text itself will more than make up for these shortcomings.
