A retired US Navy lieutenant commander with more than 2900 flight hours in P-3C aircraft, he has since provided articles for a number of military magazines. Warren Thompson has been a military aviation historian for more than 40 years. He has had more than 30 books published (including 12 for Osprey), as well as numerous magazine articles. In 2011 he was recognised as 'Contributor of the Year' for the Tailhook Association. Jim Laurier has been drawing since he could hold a pencil and throughout his life he has worked in many mediums creating artwork on a variety of subjects. He has worked on the Osprey Aviation list since 2000, and in that time he has produced some of the finest artwork seen in these volumes.
