There are many new members in the Kittyhawks and Corsairs group since I first posted my book, So I thought you might be interested in my book: An Aeronautical Engineers View....The Vought F4U Corsair and its Contemporaries. Find on Amazon or ( [email protected] ; 507-287-1021 ; Rochester, MN, USA). Here is a description I use when contacting aviation museums: Following is information on the latest version (6th Edition) of my book An Aeronautical Engineer’s View: The Vought F4U Corsair and its Contemporaries which compares WWII and Korean fighters of that era. This book offers a discerning look—on an “apples to apples” basis—of our U.S. 2nd Generation WWII fighter aircraft (P-51, F4U, P-47, F6F, P-38). This book also includes fighter aircraft of Britain, Russia, Germany and Japan. Endorsements on the back cover are from arguably the two best known military aviation authors/historians in the U.S. (Col. Walter Boyne, and Barrett Tillman). I have received consistently exceptional strong positive feedback from combat pilots, pilots, and aviation enthusiasts across the country. Museum docents have also found this book very valuable. This book has sold exceptionally well at the Oshkosh Air Shows (EAA’s AirVenture) where I have given several seminars the past five years, and it is carried at the Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum, the National Museum of the Marines at Quantico Virginia, the National Museum of the Air Force at Wright Patterson AFB at Dayton Ohio, and many other aviation museums (unless sold out). The cover design is my work. Also: Marine Wings: Stories of war and peace as written by the pilots, is the Regional Best Seller hard cover book for which I am a co-author along with a group of 23 retired Minnesota Marine pilots. This book is carried at most of the same museums as the other book (unless sold out). Endorsements on the back cover are from Col. John Glenn, Tom Brokaw and Brig. Gen. Bruce Matheson, an original pilot in the South Pacific with Maj. Greg (Pappy) Boyington in the Black Sheep, VMF-214. I also did the initial concept for the cover design.
