Though the Swedish aircraft industry can be traced back to the years before World War I, it was the establishment of Saab in 1937 which laid the foundations for a Swedish industry capable of producing world-standard aeroplanes which in some cases were in advance of those designed elsewhere. The Saab 17 single-engined and the Saab 18 twin-engined bombers were the company's first products. But it was the appearance of the Draken and Viggen which established Saab's reputation for producing world-class aeroplanes. This book covers the history and technology of the airplanes that made Sweden a world leader in the industry. Includes 280 photos.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Данный выпуск познакомит вас со шведским сверхзвуковым истребителем SAAB 35  «Дракен», эксплуатировавшимся в разных странах на протяжении около пятидесяти лет.

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.

"Предлагаемая читателям работа рассказывает об истории создания и постановке на производство танка Т-34 и охватывает период с начала 1937 по декабрь 1940 года. В ее основе главным образом история танка, техническое описание Т-34 и эволюция его внешнего вида практически не рассматриваются".

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.
