The complete career of the "whistling death", from the early versions known as the "Birdcage" to the high-powered racers of the Reno air races, taking in Pappy Boyington's aircraft, the famous Black Sheep Squadron, and the Corsairs of the French Aéronavale at Suez.

The work is not merely a picture book — sumptuous as those pictures are — the editorial content, whether historical or technical, being both extensive and detailed.
