Into the Blue covers
USAF uniform heritage beginning with the early days of the USAS in World War I,
through its progression to the modern day USAF uniforms. The primary focus of
this first volume is the dress and service uniforms of both men and women, including
summer and winter uniforms of the early decades, along with the transformation
to the two-tone uniforms and economic design changes which occurred within the
past few decades. This well-researched book contains over 1100 photos, as well
as contributions from established experts and official USAF historical
entities. Also chronicled is the development of Air Force collar brass,
accoutrements, footwear, and headgear. These books will become the standard for USAF
uniform collectors and an invaluable tool for historians, museum employees,
collectors and veterans.
Normalmente
no hago referencias de libros que no hablen de la aviación militar española,
pero me ha enviado un amigo esta referencia y me ha parecido muy interesante. Sobre
todo teniendo en cuenta que cuando en el mercado anglosajón tocan un tema no
miran los gastos ni la ayuda que se necesite, allí todos colaboran, da igual
que sean museos, que asociaciones de veteranos, o coleccionistas, se trata de
sacar un libro de historia y se unen todos. Eso mismo ocurre en nuestra querida
España, ¿verdad Ejército del Aire?
La verdad es que los libros tienen muy buena
pinta. Felicidades al autor y a los compradores del libro.
