WWII American War Eagles 1937-1942: America's Arsenal of Democracy, Vol. 1 presents a vivid visual narrative of American military aviation on the eve of and during the early years of World War II, centered on never-before-seen Kodachrome color photographs of aircraft prototypes in testing. Set against the 1937–1942 build-up of the U.S. air arm, the book traces the evolution of R&D, prototype trials and industrial expansion that underpinned America’s role as the "Arsenal of Democracy," offering a rare color perspective on machines and moments usually seen only in black-and-white technical records.
This volume by Warren M. Bodie (ISBN13: 9780962935947) is a pictorial, technical reference rich in extensive photographic documentation—unique Kodachrome images of prototype aircraft, chronological coverage of pre‑war and early-war development, and careful visual archival value—making it a sought-after resource for historians, modelers, researchers and collectors interested in U.S. aviation history and the aircraft industry’s wartime ramp-up.

New: Fresh Out of Bootcamp
Flawless and untested. This book is in pristine, new condition and ready for its first assignment.
Like New: Light Combat Experience
Almost new and in great shape. It has clearly been read before and is ready to fight again, but it shows very little wear from its time in the field.
Good: A Few Scars or Shell Shock
A reliable veteran. The book might have some bent corners or a dust cover with a few scratches, but it’s still sturdy and standing tall.
Fair: Battle-Hardened
Visible signs of a long campaign. Expect some stains, bent pages, and perhaps some minor tears on the cover. It’s seen the trenches, but the intel inside is still solid.
Poor: Survived Iwo Jima
This one has been through the meat grinder. It carries noticeable damage, heavy staining, or significant wear—but like any old soldier, it would love to be read one last time before it retires.
