Warbirds: The Aviation Art of Adam Tooby Hardcover – October 28, 2014

This is a really beautiful book. Like a previous reviewer I had some problems with a few of the captions and the errors contained within but they in no way detract from the enjoyment of the book.A usual complaint I have about aviation art books is that there's too little art and too many words but that is not the case at all here. Marvelous, large, numerous illustrations make the book thoroughly enjoyable.My only complaint comes from the retired fighter pilot side of me and it's a complaint I have with most aviation artists... even in the midst of a swirling dogfight all of the aircraft illustrated have their flight controls dead neutral; no deflection of ailerons, rudders or elevators, even in aircraft shown generating wingtip vortices because they are pulling "G's" (hard to do with your elevator in neutral). But this is something that most folks won't even notice and it certainly didn't keep me from loving the book.

Nice discount price as “used”. As with other books I’ve ordered one would think it is new. This is a great book for military aviation enthusiasts!

This is a very substantial "coffee table book". My 1st copy was damaged in shipping due to changes in Amazon's packaging. They quickly sent a replacement copy. THANK YOU.(Amazon used to shrink wrap books onto an oversized piece of cardboard, which prevented this kind of shipping damage in the past.)I am very pleased with the quality and content of the book. It is one of the very few aviation fine art books to feature the current generation of digital aviation art. The images are large, and there are many opportunities for visual exploration of the nuances of each subject. I enjoyed the variety of complex renderings. The text is well-written, informative, and enjoyable to read.

I bought this book as a gift and I have to say that I was not disappointed, either by the quality of the book, nor of the illustrations which it contains. A truly beautiful thing to own. Especially if you are interested in military aircraft in all of their glory.

An excellent book with amazing art, but misidentifications on some aircraft like the P-40 (confuse K, L & M versions) and Fw-190 (indicates a profile as A-3 version when in fact is A-8 version)

I would have loved to have seen more modern warplanes such as the f 15 or the eurofighter. Not that WW2 planes are bad but there are too much of them and not enough planes from ww1 or other wars such as Korea and Vietnam. Other than that an worthy book for any aviation fans library

Great computer-rendered drawings by Adam Tooby on my favorite subject, combat aircraft. He is a master of this type of artwork and the renditions are so nicely detailed that really bring the subject to life. It sits now on my living room and every visitor comments on it. Thoroughly recommended.

A real bargain price for a fantastic "picture book" of (mostly) WWII airplanes. THE essential coffee table accessory for airplane nuts. Heavy glossy pages - the book weighs a "ton". I saw a YouTube "review" that leafs through many of the pages.
