Hypothetical. Aircraft Profiles

In 1986, Ted Nomura self-published his comic Tigers of Terra: Families of Altered Wars under his Mind Visions label. In 2006, his work celebrated 20 years of alternative military history in visual form. Antarctic Press assumed the printing duties for Nomura’s comics, not only continuing Tigers of Terra but with spin-offs including the popular Luftwaffe: 1946, Kamikaze: 1946, and many others, to include several x-plane technical manuals. The latter publications were done with the assistance of Justo Miranda. Nomura’s profile artwork in this book come from his many comics and where available, the alternate history he has given them is provided.
