A complementary volume to Spirits In the Sky, Thunder In the Heavens takes us one step further by not only showing the aircraft but linking the wartime experience of U.S. airerews and their warbirds. The volume pays homage to the classic American aircraft that were instrumental in the Allied victory in World War II-the great American bombers and their protective fighter escort power.
