When it first was published it was quite expensive. However Barnes and Noble picked it up and markets it at an extremely attractive price ($15 I think.) There are over 100 aircraft reviewed, with at least one three view of each plane. In addition, each plane is shown in multiple side views with multiple markings--with emphasis on those from different countries. no reviews | add a review
Military aircraft have been variously daubed, cunningly camouflaged, boastfully personalized or otherwise extravagantly coloured since they first took to the air over 80 years ago. Flying Colours is a survey of this fascinating scene. No library descriptions found. |

This book attracted some criticism from reviewers on the grounds that the colour rendition was not completely accurate. This, to me, was over-critical; this book was never intended to be a 100% accurate guide to colour schemes (especially given the debate that rages in some quarters over colour accuracy). What it is, however, is a concise guide to the range of camouflage and marking schemes. Modellers in particular will find it a useful reference which they will find helpful if used in conjunction with other reference sources. ( )
