Garth Williams

    Garth Williams reste à jamais célèbre comme l'illustrateur qui a donné une forme inoubliable à des personnages de fiction bien-aimés. Sa touche artistique a donné vie à l'élégante souris Stuart Little, à l'aimable araignée Charlotte, à son ami Wilbur, ainsi qu'à d'innombrables animaux, créatures fantastiques et enfants. Bien que Williams ait également écrit plusieurs livres pour enfants, c'est principalement son style illustratif unique et sa capacité à insuffler aux personnages des personnalités distinctes qui ont cimenté son héritage. Son travail a également démontré le pouvoir de l'art pour engager le dialogue sociétal.

      Focusing on the U.S. military's development of special aircraft types during World War II, including many experimental aircraft and one-off secret projects, this book shows how U.S. aviation designs and weapons progressed under the pressure of global warfare. From the state-of-the-art aircraft at the beginning of the war, to the advances during the conflict, each special type is covered in detail: armed photo reconnaissance, catapult launched seaplanes, naval floatplanes, autogyros, and special-operations armed drones. Often described as less glamorous than fighters and bombers, these special types of WWII combat aircraft offer a unique contribution to military aviation and aeronautical advancement.
