 Actual cover is different... April 22, 2008
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I received this book today and was relieved to find the cover artwork ACCURATELY depicting a Ki-43 Oscar, in mottled green & aluminum camouflage. It's shown in flight, heading towards the viewer's right. Above that, flying to the rear left, is the Warhawk. The artwork, by Jim Laurier, is superb! He also did the color artwork inside: 3-views, cockpits, armament scrap views, and a spectacular 2-page battle scene.
There are also many fine, clear, period photos of the combatants and their machines. I don't remember seeing these in my other books on the Oscar and Warhawk. The text by Carl Molesworth is well worth absorbing. Lastly, there are maps, a bibliograpy, and an index.
I have to give Osprey credit for their "Duel" Series. So far, I've collected three of these titles, and I think they represent some of the very best that Osprey offers, of all their various publications.
Highly recommended!

If this is truly about P-40's versus Ki-43's, why does the cover illustration show a A6M "Zeke"? Ooops! I'm looking forward to reading the explanation.
