The first of a two-volume work, this book covers the history of Douglas and its associate companies, and details all of its aircraft up to the 1967 merger with McDonnell.

This volume includes the complete history of McDonnell and McDonnell Douglas after the two companies merged in 1967. In addition, it details the products of Hughes aviation.

Макдоннел-Дуглас F-4 «Фантом» II (англ. McDonnell Douglas F-4 Phantom II) — многоцелевой истребитель, истребитель-перехватчик, самолёт наземной поддержки третьего поколения. F-4F — обозначение экспортных F-4E для ВВС ФРГ. Построено 175 машин.

Charts the development of the Harrier from the largely experimental P1127, through the Kestrel, to today's jet. The author covers developments of the airframe, avionics, weapons and Pegasus engine, and details the operational and experimental uses of this first operational VSTOL aircraft.

Despite its slow speed, the Douglas SBD Dauntless was referred to by its crews as Slow But Deadly - such was its accuracy as a dive-bomber causing considerable damage to the Japanese fleet. This is an illustrated guide to the aircraft and its gallant crews.

Серия Aeroguide №16

A history of the Miles aircraft manufacturing company, from the formative years to post-war financial crisis. The Miles company manufactured some 7000 aircraft, and designed other aircraft which never flew, including what would have been the world's first supersonic aircraft.

Mikoyan built his first aircraft in 1936. The company has since gone on to produce some of the most fearsome high-performance military aircraft of the post-World War II period, such as the MiG-15, MiG-21 and MiG 29. This book describes all these aircraft and more, in detail.

This is a study of aircraft from World War II. The book is part of a 12volume series, which covers the production and operation of aircraft worldwide. Each volume is devoted to essays on aircraft types, their development and option, systems and equipment.
As well as outlining developments, each article seeks to explain why progress was in a particular direction, emphasizing the political, strategic or economic factors that dictated that development. Moving from the general to the specific, graphs and tabular data relating to typical or significant aircraft or allied subjects are provided in each section.
The series concentrates on the development of aircraft from the viewpoint of their technical development, the effect of technical development on the use of aircraft, and the effect of their usage on technical development.

Книга серии Colors & Markings. Part2 - Attack aircraft. A-6 Intruder, A-7 Corsair.

The great leaps in aviation history - the Wright brothers'first flight, Lindbergh's first crossing of the Atlantic, Yeager breaking the sound barrier - were all made by pushing the boundaries of aeronautical science, wringing extraordinary performance out of experimental and untested aircraft.
However, for every success like these there were new aircraft designs which flew badly (or not at all), crashed on landing, burned up fuel at an alarming rate, exploded without warning, or pointlessly wasted millions of dollars.

More than 120 prototypes and X-planes, from the Bell X-1 to the H-35 JSF. Over 2000 photographs and illustrations. Unique graphics, which allow the reader to compare the performance of contemporary aircraft. Full dimensions, weights and performance figures for each type.

The complete guide to detailing, scratchbuilding and modifying scale model aircraft.
Полное руководство по самостоятельному изготовлению моделей, их деталировке и модифицированию.

The book tells the story of one of the most famous aircraft companies during the WWI. From the Fokker Spinne of 1912, through to the Fokker D.VIII of 1918 and taking in such famous types as the Eindecker, D.VII and Dr.I triplane in between, Paul Leaman describes the aircraft as well as the men who flew and designed them. He also covers the quality problems that plagued the company and the use of the aircraft in combat.

Серия или Выпуск: Авиаколлекция

Выпуск посвящен истории двух, пожалуй, самых известных самолетов своего времени, ставших самыми долгоживущими истребителями, стоявшими на вооружении от 1950-х годов до начала XXI века.
Этим машинам, представлявшим совершенно различные концепции самолета-истребителя и совершенно разные конструкторские школы, довелось стать непримиримыми противниками еще на чертежных досках конструкторов и продолжить соперничество над полями сражений во многих локальных конфликтах.
В 1958 году американская фирма McDonnell-Douglas предложила концепцию тяжелого двухместного двухдвигательного многоцелевого истребителя F-4 Phantom, а годом раньше советское опытно-конструкторское бюро А.И.Микояна - концепцию легкого сверхзвукового фронтового истребителя.
Рассказ о перепитиях противоборства летчиков и конструкторов двух сверхдержав - в этом выпуске.

Presented in an innovative landscape format, and illustrated with a wide selection of photographs, this is a fascinating and informative guide to over 120 warplanes in service around the world today. The book covers a wide range of military aircraft and includes current and future UK and European fighter aircraft such as the Panavia Tornado, as well as less well-known aircraft currently in service around the world.

This book is about the interiors of Japanese Army and Navy aircraft flown during the Second World War. It is a detailed survey covering crew stations, instrumentation and other equipment commonly associated within the interior of military aircraft. For quick reference, each aircraft discussed is shown by at least one external overall photograph. Interior colors are also shown and discussed. This is the only English language book of its type in-print today. Fighters, night fighters, jet and rocket special attack aircraft, bombers, reconnaissance aircraft and seaplanes of the Imperial Army and Navy are fully covered.

This new addition takes a close look at a varied range of aircraft types, principally described as ground-attack and special-purpose types, but which includes Kampfzerstörer (multi-purpose combat aircraft), multi-purpose and fast bombers, explosive-carrying aircraft intended to attack other aircraft, air-to-air ramming vehicles, bomb-carrying gliders and towed fighters, and airborne weapons and special devices (rockets, cannons, flame-throwers, etc.)
The technical descriptions and histories of about 140 aircraft types are brought to life by many specially created full-color artworks, showing the projects, often in unit markings, as they might have appeared if they had come to fruition and/or if the war had continued beyond 1945. This series has proven indispensable for historians and notably for modelers, whose imaginations are fired up by these revelations.
