An Outstanding Book!
The "GATHERING OF MUSTANGS AND LEGENDS" -- The Final Roundup -- is a book crafted with the same care that millionaires devote to their warbirds. It is thoughtfully composed. It is comprehensive, beginning with a pictorial review of the entire evolution of the P-51. It gives recognition not only to those who flew, but to those who keep them flying. Its static P-51 'beauty shots' are impeccable, thanks to the use of a hangar dedicated to this purpose at the 2007 show. The numerous aerial shots are artwork in the sky. The editors make their choices with knowledge and love. This book does not collect dust. It is mobile, introduced with the question, "Have you seen THIS?!" It is passed around with the caution, "Are you hands clean?!" It is an aviation enthusiast's top choice for his or her collection.

The Gathering of Mustangs & Legends: The Final Roundup
The book is terrific and brought back many glorious memories of my four days at the 2007 Gathering in Ohio. The high-quality color photos leap from each page! Coverage includes details of the Mustang's design, production, and combat history; the initial 1999 Gathering in Florida; the histories of all 77 P-51s at the 2007 Gathering; and finally the bios and combat histories of every one of the invited Legends who flew and maintained these wonderful machines.

The Gathering of Mustangs & Legends: The Final Roundup Book
My book arrived today . . . and what a beauty it is. I was at The Gathering in 2007 and every bit of the event came roaring back with this tribute. The 51's seem to fly off the page and I swear you can hear the Merlin engines as well. I really enjoyed reading about the Legends who were there in 2007.
