"His passion for history and accuracy has produced another book devoted to World War II's historic aircraft wrecks without a bias. Each recovery has its own unique story and Veronico's writing refreshingly brings the reader each story. Hidden Warbirds II is rich and the reader is rewarded many times with each page. In fact, this book could serve as the only source for this blog for the remainder of 2014!" - Travel for Aircraft Blog

"exceptionally good reads â especially if you're fascinated by vintage aviation." - Silodrome.com
"What would a story look like if you began with a crusade to preserve the vanishing history of our greatest generation, added some modern-day Indiana Jonesâ style archaeology and a global aviation scavenger hunt, and finished up with raise-from-the-dead restoration expertise that would shame an Egyptologist? The answer is Hidden Warbirds II. Once again Nicholas Veronico has provided a seamless blend of meticulous research and vibrant photography that documents some of the great archaeological adventures of our time." - Brad O'Connor, author of Stealth Fighter: A Year in the Life of an F-117 Pilot
"Hunting for hidden treasures has always had wide appeal, but Nicholas A. Veronico brings entirely new dimensions to the genre. He provides in fascinating detail the past, present, and future of a number of great subjectsâ fascinating vintage airplanes rescued from locations such as the English Channel, a frozen lake in Norway, and more. Hidden Warbirds II is a fundamental contribution to aviation history, well researched and well written, as easy to read as a novel, and absolutely loaded with facts." - Walter J. Boyne, USAF (ret.), author/historian and former director, Smithsonian National Air & Space Museum
"Global and fraught with risk, the adventure stories in Hidden Warbirds II would do Indiana Jones proud. From icy Norway to the steamy outback, we are there, witnesses to epic treasure hunts and moreâ the race to save the history of brave men." - Adam Makos, New York Times best-selling author of A Higher Call
"Nicholas Veronico, the author of Hidden Warbirds as well as Hidden Warbirds II, is easy going and brimming with knowledge â especially whenever relic warbird finding (wreckchasing) arises in the conversation. Hidden Warbirds was reviewed earlier, and what a great read it is with its variety of warbirds, places, people and stories. Happily, a sequel is slated for release this June and it is greatly promising indeed." - SeattlePI.com
