This book is the perfect antidote to the endless drip feed of bad news which seems to be the media norm at present ... whenever you are reading this review! Publishers of 'coffee table photobooks' obviously believe there is a market for those depicting human misery, suffering and warfare.
These observations explain why Michael Malak's book is as refreshing as a cold shower on a sticky day, as refreshing as an ice cold Coke in its iconic bottle [pp 25 and 115] and an absolute must-have and must-keep book for anyone and ebveryone who appreciates great photography, iconic piston engine aircraft lovingly restored and beautiful young girls in tasteful, revealing, glamorous 1940's/50's costumes.
And yet these 144 pages of mainly photographs with just enough text to help the story along, are a tribute to the men and women who gave all for home and freedom during the most devastating war the world had ever seen. I bought and reviewed Volume 2 first and enjoyed it so much that this was ordered the same day that the first book arrived!
I would like to record a public vote of thanks to Michael, his team, his models and his publisher for this Olympic sized pool of nostalgia. They all deserve gold medals.
