I was at Barnes & Noble this evening, and came accross an interesting book. "The Blue Devils, US Navy & Marine Corps Aces of World War II". It looks like a great resource book for those interested in modeling Wildcats, Hellcats, and Corsairs. It's a 288 page history of Marine Corps and Navy WWII fighter pilots and their planes. As well as photographs, there are loads of colour plates, with nearly sixty profiles of the Corsair alone. Anyone else have or seen this book? I got the last one on the bargain shelf for $10.00. I couldn't pass it up. Did I do good?[sm=thumbs_down.gif][sm=thumbs_up.gif]

[sm=thumbs_up.gif]Thanks Kmot, and you're welcome SMUGator.
I'm just wondering if anyone, especially the Corsair experts, has any comment on the historical accuracy of the book's writting and color plates. I'll dig into the online reviews a little more.
