"B-25 Mitchell Illlustrated" is the first of a planned series of books on military aircraft of all eras. As the title indicates, these books will concentrate on the visual aspects of military aircraft, including many construction, exterior and interior details. Text is largely limited to descriptive captions of the over 200 photos and illustrations. The art is produced by Lou Drendel, an aviation illustrator with over 50 years of experience in aviation illustration and publishing. The B-25 Mitchell is the most famous World War II medium bomber, serving on all fronts of that war. This first of the planned series includes many period color photos, depicting the construction and use of the Mitchell. There are many color nose art photos that the author believes are being seen in print for the first time. A further note about this book: This was the first of my "Illustrated" series of books and was self-published as an ebook only. At the time I did this book, not many ebooks contained the number of pictures I was used to including in my books, and the layout tools were not generally available to make a high quality book. This specific book came about because the editors at my previous publishing house could not, or would not, make the effort to accomodate the period photos herein which were so important to the book. Fortunately, the tools are now available, and this print version of the "B-25 Mitchell Illustrated" is a quality example of those advances.
