Condizione: New. Laurier, Jim (illustratore).

Paperback. Condizione: New. Allied fighter pilots began encountering German jets - principally the outstanding Me 262 fighter - from the autumn of 1944.Stunned by the aircraft's speed (close to 200mph faster than the best Allied piston-engined fighters of the period) and rate of climb, it took USAAF and RAF units time to work out how to combat this deadly threat as the Luftwaffe targeted the medium and heavy bombers attacking targets across the Reich. A number of high-scoring aces from the Eighth Air Force (Drew, Glover, Meyer, Norley and Yeager, to name but a few) succeeded in claiming Me 262s, Me 163 and Ar 234s during the final months of the campaign, as did RAF aces like Tony Gaze and 'Foob' Fairbanks. Featuring the exploits of both famous and little-known pilots, this engaging book details how they pushed their P-47s, P-51s, Spitfires and Tempests to the limits of their performance in order to down the Luftwaffe's 'wonder weapons'.

Hardcover. Condizione: new. Hardcover. On Tuesday, September 21, 1976, the pilot episode Flying Misfits of the series that became Baa Baa Black Sheep, premiered on NBC at 9pm. President of Universal Television Frank Price had obtained the rights to legendary World War Two hero Gregory Pappy Boyington's memoirs, and tasked up-and-coming writer Stephen Cannell to write a script for the two-hour pilot action thriller. Test audiences liked what they saw, and with the studio behind it, the first series was commissioned. Even before it aired, however, the series seemed doomed to failure. Unsure where to place it in the television listings, the series provoked outrage for its storylines and visual content, which appeared to promote bad language, drinking, and womanising in an era that hadn't yet defined the parameters of acceptable viewing. Its target audience, however, loved it for the unrivalled and dramatic sequences that featured thrilling and dynamic aerial footage of World War Two aircraft in action. Baa Baa Black Sheep broke new ground and polarized audiences but eventually succumbed to the ratings war. Decades later, the series resurfaced following an article by author Stephen Chapis that featured on the internet. Decades after it first aired, the series that caused controversy in so many ways has reached new audiences and attained iconic status. Stephen Chapis has spent 15 years researching the series, scouring newspaper and magazine features and conducted dozens of interviews with executives, writers, producers, directors, actors, and pilots who worked on the series. The result is the most in-depth look at Baa Baa Black Sheep, a series that survived a tumultuous era in television history to become a cult classic almost 50 years after it went off the air. On Tuesday, September 21, 1976, the pilot episode "Flying Misfits" of the series that became Baa Baa Black Sheep, premiered on NBC at 9pm.
