CAF Presentation

Written By John Slemp

The Commemorative Air Force recently interviewed me regarding the book, and the two-part discussion with the CAF's Steve Buss in now on their YouTube channel. Part one is a general discussion about the project itself, the research involved, which museum's participated, and the photographic techniques involved.

Part two is a more formalized presentation showing specific jackets and outlining several stories from the book. Each presentation is about an hour long, with questions.

Steve is a wonderful host and, having seen the book personally, speaks knowledgeably about the overall impact it has on a viewer. Enjoy!
