A tradition long assosiated with conflict is the warrior's desire to decorate their instruments of war. These instruments could include the warrior himself or their weapons. History is filled with examples of this tradition: Egyptian chariots, Viking ships, Zulu warriors, Native American war paint and Samurai. This was done for a variety of reasons: protection from evil, personal identification, to receive supernatural powers from gods, etc.During the Twentieth Century this tradition continued primarily by decorating the vehicles of war…the airplane.

The pages of this book are simply filled with these images!.....
