Airplanes of the Second World War Coloring Book (Dover Planes Trains Automobiles Coloring)

Book Synopsis: Soar into the aviation history of World War II with this coloring book featuring 46 accurate, realistic illustrations of military aircraft! Take flight while coloring 46 illustrations of planes of World War II accompanied by detailed informative captions. These authentic renderings by world–renowned graphic artist Carlo Demand include the American B29 “Enola Gay,” the Japanese Zero used by kamikaze pilots, the German Komet jet fighter, and the spunky British spitfire that performed so valiantly in the Battle of Britain and helped put a stop to Hitler’s imperial drive. The Airplanes of World War II Coloring Book includes authentic coloring, markings, and insignia, as well as information about design innovations, each plane's military role and affiliation, and other pertinent data. During World War II, armed aircraft became more deadly and sophisticated as the Allied and Axis powers struggled for supremacy. Both sides rapidly developed fighters, bombers, reconnaissance planes, and transports that were sent into the conflict. The technology changed so quickly that some highly effective planes used early on were outmoded before the end of the war. All the planes pictured are now, of course, obsolete; but for aviation buffs, military historians, model builders, and illustrators, these superb renderings will recall an era — a time when the needs of a global conflict spurred tremendous advances in aerial technology, both military and commercial. Children, teens, adults, aviation buffs, aspiring pilots, and war history enthusiasts will relax and enjoy coloring this educational and fact-filled coloring book. It features 46 copyright-free illustrations drawn by internationally renowned graphic artist Carlo Demand. Designs range from small, wooden, propeller-driven planes to metal jet fighters. Thirteen of the planes are shown in full–color. Dover publishes historical coloring books for both adults and children, covering an array of subjects including American history, Black history, military history, the Old West, the Civil War, Native Americans, American presidents and first ladies, famous explorers and inventors, and much more.
