EagleFiles #4 supplements the histories and biographies that have been published on the A.V.G. Due to the author's extensive pilot interviews, his incredible amount of reference material on these beautiful airplanes and use of rare, original photos, the aircraft illustrations in this book are among the most accurate yet produced of these famous aircraft.
Combining that research with his own artwork, Tullis has created the type of reference book many have searched for, a complete compendium on the color and markings of the aircraft flown by the American Volunteer Group. Much as been written about the men and misisons of the A.V.G., but little has been published documenting the machines they used.
Tullis presents a complete color discussion, full color Squadron markings for the First, Second and Third Pursuit Squadrons, full color presentations of the six different Shark's mouths and the Chinese roundel National Markings.
Eight full color profiles, top and bottom views along with five black and white profiles based on the original photos are beautifully rendered by Tullis. Period color photos are among the 125 rare original photos, many published for the first time from original negatives.

As one of seventeen night fighter squadrons established during the course of World War II, the 421st Night Fighter Squadron carried the war into the night skies over the battlefields of the Southwest Pacific when most other fighter squadrons remained on the ground. In the squadrons years of service they would be based in a number of places ranging from New Guinea, Leyte, and finally ending up as an Occupational squadron in Japan after the war. The 421st NFS would be credited with thirteen kills, three damaged, one probable, and a number they simply never received credit for. On February 2, 1945 the 421st NFS would finally be deactivated and overnight become the 68th Fighter Squadron (All Weather). The history of the 421st however, would by no means end there. The 421st would again rise in later years as the 421st Tactical Fighter Squadron and fight in the skies of Vietnam, and later be one of the first squadrons flying in Operation Desert Storm true to its tradition the 421st would fly night missions over Iraq.
