Em7s In Retirement

摘要

Final Cut - The Post-War B-17 Flying Fortress and Survivors, Scott A Thompson, Aero Vintage Books, 240pp, illus, sbk, $42.95 inc overseas shipping - Scott is no stranger to the pages of FlyPast and he penned the extremely well-received Thunderball Fortress in the February issue. First published in 1990, this work set the benchmark in 'warbird' history titles. Now substantially revised and updated, it awaits loyal owners looking to upgrade and an entirely new readership. Every surviving B-17rnis given detailed provenance and the type's 'demobbed' career as drone, air-sea rescuer, corporate transport, air tanker, duster, surveyor and film star is lovingly chartered. Each page has at least one 'I never knew that' moment.
