Combat Carriers: Flying Action on Carriers at Sea Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This book COMBAT CARRIORS is a book for anyone who loves jets and pictures. It tells about whole squaderons that are on carriers today. It shows every squardron patch on each page and tells a brief history on the squardron. COMBAT CARRIERS also tells how the carrier works from the inside and out. It tells how the people on the deck work and respond to the planes and their commanders. The Royal Navy is also included in the book. Excellent pictures are on every page from the F-14 Tomcat to the ES- 3A Vicking. All of the planes on the carrier are in this book. I highly recommend you buy this book if you love jets and aircraft carriers.

Secret Aerospace Projects of the U.S. Navy: The Incredible Attack Aircraft of the USS United States, 1948-1949 Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)The author details the very unknown story of US Navy's first attempt to get nuclear attack capability. At that time the only way to carry out a nuclear attack was to drop it from a bomber. A 4 Ton bomb required a big aircraft to lift it. And a big airplane ned a big carrier to operate from. Neither the bomber nor the carrier existed so a futuristic program was launched to turn both concepts into hardware.
This comprehensive volume reviews every aircraft design proposed to the contest. Some of the manufacturers made full use of available WWII German research into their Science Fiction looking bomber designs. At the end, USAF rivalry and new nuclear vector options resulted in the project cancellation. Information about it remained almost unavailable since Jared A. Zichek compiled it into this beautiful edited volume in the Schiffer tradition. While neatly being a graphic than text book, I found excellent reading in it too. The book has an exhaustive collection of original technical drawings.
I highly recommended it to people interested in unbuilt projects and technology (both naval and aerospace), naval power technology, nuclear weapon technology.
Thanks a lot Mr Zichek!
