  1. A list of books in the Putnam Aeronautical series is available on a page on a Dutch aviation retailer's website.
  2. The relationship of this book to a book of the same name, but only one of the same authors, published approximately 10 years later is unknown.
  3. Apparently also published under the title Luftwaffe Camouflage & Markings, 1935-45, Vol 1 by Kookaburra Technical Publications.
  4. Apparently also published under the title Luftwaffe Camouflage & Markings, 1935-45, Vol 2 by Kookaburra Technical Publications.
  5. Apparently also published under the title Luftwaffe Camouflage & Markings, 1935-45, Vol 3 by Kookaburra Technical Publications.
  6. An official history of the German Air Force in World War II was never produced, but there were several United States Air Force sponsored attempts. For more information see the book No Sense in Dwelling on the Past? by Ryan Shaughnessy and the Von Rhoden Collection.
  7. The historiography of the official history of U.S. military aviation in World War I is complicated. As explained in the introduction to volume one of the The U.S. Air Service in World War I, a document known as "Gorrell's History", which is composed of a "Final Report" and a "Tactical History", is regarded as the "official" version. The aforementioned document, from which this paraphrase was taken, was published in 1978 as part of a two volume series. Additional "documents illustrating various concepts and ideas for the employment of the U.S. Air Service in World War I" make up volume two. However, a different document by Lucien H. Thayer, produced by R. James Bender Publishing and the Champlin Fighter Museum Press in 1983 as America's First Eagles: The Official History of the U.S. Air Service, A.E.F. (1917-1918), also lays claim to the title.
  8. The pages 241–243 in the bibliography of the book Hidden Warbirds II by Nicholas A. Veronico were a partial inspiration for this section as well as the source of many of the entries in it.
