Reviews"A time machine is what John Dibbs and Kent Ramsey hoped to build when they began collecting and restoring some of the greatest images--many never before published--of World War II. Storm of Eagles...will indeed make you feel like you're standing with a U.S. Army Air Forces crew next to ace Francis "Gabby" Gabreski's P-47 Thunderbolt." - Air & Space Smithsonian "...a magnificent visual record and a lasting tribute to those who clashed in contested skies." - Aviation History, "A time machine is what John Dibbs and Kent Ramsey hoped to build when they began collecting and restoring some of the greatest images--many never before published--of World War II.
