This book is in soft-cover of 268 pages in 8 ¼” x 11 ¾” page format.
The cover art shows a color photo of an 0-47 flying at night over an ocean.
The book contains 309 black and white photos and 15 color ones. There are 20 color profile illustrations, 2 data lists and one map.
The black and white photos include 11 of a Curtis 0-1 Falcon biplane and a Douglas Y-10-43 parasol winged aircraft, 25 walk-around type photos that include a .50 cal machine gun, torpedo and a bomb, a photo of the cover of Flying Aces Magazine from the 30’s, many photos of pilots, 7 photos of the cockpit interior and dashboard.
The balance of the black and white photos are all of 0-47s.
There are 2 cutaway type side-view line drawings of the 0-47, a 4-view of one including the fuselage interior bulkheads and their positions and a 3-view of the 0-47 also showing the bulkheads.
There are 20 color side view color illustrations.
Two are of the Falcon 0-1 biplane, 2 are of the Douglas 0-43A parasol-winged fighter and the balance are all O-47s.
This is a neat album of pictures of the 0-47.
This book will be of great interest to modelers planning on building a model of one and also of interest to aviation historians alike.
