Actually, the author himself indicated to me in an email on June 18, that he thought the Moses lake example was the same one currently displayed at McChord (ex Univ. of Washington), which of course it isn't since N777LW has recently flown. More to the point of my first post, the book itself, not the download which I haven't done yet, does not mention it as still surviving...though there are photos of it post war. That doesn't mean much , by reading the book's ac histories, there were many B-18s and B-23s that survived the war only to disappear in the 60s-80s.

Not many new books get me excited. This has a great blend of developmental history, USAAC prewar history/planning, operational use and individual histories, all backed up with footnotes and good photos (though some could be reproduced larger).
As I said, 4.75 out of five.
