Used Bookstores Are Awesome

[SOC]

Hit up the used bookstore today, the spousal unit likes to get paperbacks there that she can't find at B&N. Found an interesting book there myself: U.S. Fighters, by Lloyd S. Jones. It's 352 pages, was published in 1975, and gives a few pages and usually a schematic of every fighter from the Curtiss P-1 to the Northrop YF-17. It's mostly USAF fighters, but anything Navy that got a post-1962 F-... designation is also included for completion. And I got it for $6! Very nice book, lots of historical stuff in there that's pretty interesting.

Jones published a very similar book on Navy aircraft.

It's mentioned don the inside cover that one was in the works. Whoever soldd this one needs to drop that one off as well ;D

Jones did one on US Bombers, B-1 thru B-1, as well. Really neat. I think the guy who does the Anigrand resin kits is working his way through it on model at a time.
