American Secret Projects 2: U.S. Airlifters 1941 to 1961 ISBN:1910809160 Author:Cox, George; Kaston, Craig Publisher:Crecy Publishing Ltd Release Date:2019 Seller Category:-- Qty Available:1 Condition:New Sku: 2345781 Notes: First edition. An exceptional copy. 2019 Large Hardcover. 304 pp. Color and black-and-white photographs, schematics, and diagrams throughout. This book charts the history of the US airlifter from its origins in World War II to today's transport giants. In doing so, it reveals and describes numerous designs which never saw the light of day, examining the thinking behind them and giving insights into why they did, or did not, succeed. In many ways, this untold story of aviation history reflects both the changing face of conflict and the exercise of geo-political power; it has also had a major bearing on the development of civil aviation. The book has been made possible by the authors being given unprecedented access to major aerospace company archives, uncovering scores of design proposals which have never previously been revealed. It is profusely illustrated, much in full colour, with artwork and three-view drawings extracted from manufacturers' archives and with photographs of original project models. As well as describing how airlifters were progressively developed to meet ever-more demanding military transport requirements, the book looks at other roles for which they were adapted, from nuclear test-beds to Space-Shuttle carriers. This previously untold story describes over 200 unknown, or little known, designs, and contains over 400 illustrations detailing some of the largest and most incredible aircraft ever conceived.
