Curtiss Fighter Aircraft: A Photographic History – 1917-1948
By Francis H. Dean & Dan Hagedorn

Making use of primary Curtiss documents, as well as the combined resources of the world’s leading historians of the subject, the authors have skillfully resolved myths and woven a comprehensive study of the often very confusing story of these classic airplanes. Making use of previously unpublished documents and photographs, this massive, life-long work will stand as a legacy to the memory of those wonderful shapes, the men and women who built them, flew them and took them to war, and the lasting contributions they have made, collectively, to aviation history and the defense of democracy.
