B-58 Hustler Pilot's Flight Operating Instructions
ISBN: 9781937684938 / Angielski / Miękka / 586 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The USAFs first jet-powered bomber capable of reaching Mach 2.0, the Convair B-58 Hustler carried a crew of three and a nuclear payload. A complex aircraft, the B-58 suffered teething problems during development and became infamous for its maintenance requirements. It also compiled a dubious safety record: out of 116 Hustlers, 26 were lost in accidents. Nevertheless, the B-58s career spanned nearly a decade between 1960-70. It might have continued even longer, but Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara believed the aircraft, which was designed for high-speed, high-altitude tactical approach,...

ISBN: 9781475222401 / Angielski / Miękka / 78 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Edwards Air Force Base began life in September 1933 as the Muroc Bombing and Gunnery Range.

The 44-square mile Rogers Dry Lake located nearby the training base at Muroc provided the ideal location. Eventually, all of America's early jets, both Air Force and Navy, underwent flight testing at Muroc, which quickly became synonymous with the cutting edge flight research of the turbojet revolution. By 1946, however, a new type of research...

Royal Air Force Pilot's Notes for Mosquito Marks FII and NFXII
ISBN: 9781937684815 / Angielski / Miękka / 52 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. When Britains brilliant aircraft designer Geoffrey de Havilland first proposed the Mosquito, the Air Ministry greeted the idea with skepticism. Powered by twin Merlin engines, the bomber would be constructed almost entirely of wood and handle like a fighter. Stripped of heavy defensive weapons and armor,
its advantage was its light weight and high speed, which would allow it to escape pursuing enemy aircraft. De Havillands critics were silenced when the prototype flew in November of 1940. The plane quickly proved itself one of the fastest and most versatile military aircraft in existence,...
