Aero Research has released their latest photo reference CD, this covering the fifth installment of their Warbird Collection. Here is another nice batch of high-resolution photos of a nice variety of warbirds from around the US taken sometime between the mid-1960s to 2010.

Once again I used my image browser to scan through the aircraft on the disc and I was quite impressed with the selection of aircraft. In this release, there are an impressive number of aircraft, many of which no longer exist due to accidents or simply wear and tear.

Among the aircraft types covered here:

  • A-4 Skyhawk
  • A6M Zero
  • A-26 Intruder
  • AH-1 Cobra
  • B-17 Flying Fortress
  • B-24 Liberator
  • B-25 Mitchell
  • C-46 Commando
  • C-47 Skytrain
  • C-82 Packet

For the modeler, you'll see lots of good details and color information for replicating warbirds for a change of pace. For the enthusiast and modeler alike, you can browse through a nice variety of high-resolution images of some very nice aircraft!

This is a nice selection of imagery that you won't find available in such clarity and size. This title is recommended!

You can purchase this reference or any of their other photo CDs directly from their website www.aeroresearchcds.com or via email AeroResearch@Charter.net.

My sincere thanks to Aero Research for this review sample!
