From jacket: "Thin strands of sunlight mark the arrival of a new day at the National Museum of Naval Aviation. As the sun begins its slow trek across the eastern sky, its rays illuminate an F-14 Tomcat... a halo of sunlight outlines silhouettes of four A-4 Skyhawks and reveals a cast of 'Yellow Perils'... (The visitors) hands wander across fabric-covered wings and wooden struts, and eager eyes peer into the depth of cavernous jet engines, there is a tremendous sense of patriotism, reverence and wonder... In one fleeting moment there is captured the exuberance of the World War II fighter pilot, his hands dancing through the air... the confident stances of the Korean and Vietnam War aviators and the pensive stares of the men of World War I and Desert Storm. There's is a gathering of eagles..." Bumped top corners. No extra shipping charges if sent via US Media Mail.
