Paperback. Condizione: New. Developed in the 1960s by General Dynamics, the F-111 pioneered variable-sweep wings, afterburning turbofan engines, and automated terrain-following radar for[-]low-level, high-speed flight. Its design influenced later variable-sweep wing aircraft, and some of its advanced features have become commonplace. Being relatively[-]expensive to maintain amid post-Cold War budget cuts, the USAF elected to retire its F-111 fleet during the 1990s.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. HNLMS Soemba was a Flores-class gunboat built in the mid-1920s for the Royal Netherlands Navy to patrol the Dutch East Indies. She had a displacement of only 1,450 tons and was originally armed with three 150mm guns, supplemented with anti-aircraft and smaller weapons for self-defence. It was a successful design with good seaworthiness due to its high forecastle. Not heavily armoured, but designed for flexibility and manoeuvrability in coastal waters. Flores and Soemba had impressive careers and became known as the 'Terrible Twins' during WWII.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. The Consolidated B-32 Dominator was a powerful American bomber used by the U.S. Army Air Forces during World War II. Notably, it holds the distinction of being the last Allied aircraft to see combat in the war, and its final mission also marked the last American airman to be killed in combat during World War II.…

Paperback. Condizione: New. The Northrop Corporation offered the single engined Gamma 2F attack plane to the US Army Air Corps in October 1934. After modification work this type evolved into the highly innovative A-17 attack aircraft of which 110 aircraft were ordered. Northrop integrated all modern aircraft technologies of the day, such as all metal monocoque construction, two pitch propeller, flaps and dive brakes into the design, combined with forward firing machine guns fitted in the wings, a respectable bomb load, high speeds and admirable flying range. It eclipsed all other attack types then in service.This book offers an overview of an iconic aeroplane. The authors, all specialists in their field, have compiled a comprehensive story and gathered more than 350 photographs, colour profiles and maps, thus offering a fascinating view at an aircraft type linking the 'Golden Age of aviation' days with the dark years of World War Two.…
