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.

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.
