ISBN: 9781935327783 / Angielski / Miękka / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The legendary Hercules flying boat was designed and built by the Hughes Aircraft Company.

Convair B-36 Peacemaker Pilot's Flight Operating Instructions
ISBN: 9781935327875 / Angielski / Miękka / 500 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The largest piston-powered airplane ever mass-produced, Convairs B-36 "Peacemaker" was also the worlds first thermonuclear bomber. The genesis of this behemoth can be traced to WWII, when U.S. planners determined that if the British were defeated, a very-long-range bomber would be needed to battle the Nazis.
The prototype B-36 flew in 1946 and was quickly upgraded as the need for a bomber with a large lifting capacity - the early fission and later hydrogen bombs were both large and heavy - became paramount. Yet, when it entered active service in 1949, the "aluminum overcast" was already...
