V-Bombers tells of the design, development and operatinal careers of three of Britain's finest post-war aeronautical products: Vickers-Armstrohgs Valiant, Avro Vulkan and Handley Page Victor.
В книге рассказывается о создании и эксплуатации трех послевоенных британских самолетов: Valiant, Vulkan и Victor.

...мне тридцать восемь лет, блондинка, весьма привлекательная (по крайней мере, так мне  говорят), слегка пухленькая, вот уже год, как живу одна, половую жизнь веду нерегулярную, скорее случайную, а главное - очень банальную. Не могу сказать, что я постоянная читательница "Мисс Икс", однако иногда все же покупаю эту газету. Недавно со мной приключилась необычайная (во всяком случае, для меня) сексуальная история, которую не сумела бы даже вообразить...

This entertaining (and thought-provoking) technical manual offers readers the lowdown on the scientifically advanced World War II aircraft from Ted Nomura's critically acclaimed alternate history series.

This volume looks at the "might-have-been" strategic bombers. Includes transatlantic jets and projects that were on the drawing board or in prototype form at the war's end. Full-color action illustrations, contemporary markings, and performance data tables vividly show what might have been achieved. For military and aviation enthusiasts.

Until the break-up of the USSR, the development of Soviet aviation was kept secret, and it is only in recent years that authors have been able to gain access to so much previously unpublished material. Bill Gunston has taken full advantage of the new openness and this, along with his connections at Tupolev, has resulted in a history of Tupolev aircraft, from the ANT-1 to the Tu-2000. In the early years, Tupolev followed Junker's methods and built a range of metal aeroplanes with corrugated sheet skins. Among these was a range of four-engined heavy bombers, the ANT-9 twin- and three-engined airliners, the very long-range single-engined ANT-25 which made non-stop flights from the USSR to the West coast of North American and the very large eight-engined "Maxim Gorky". The range of twin-engined SB wartime bombers were of Tupolev design. After the war, Tupolev produced the successful Tu-16 series twin-jet and the Tu-20 (Tu-95) four propeller-turbine military types, to be followed by the supersonic Tu-22 jet bomber. Tupolev also pioneered the jet airliner, beginning with the Tu-104 which was followed by the Tu-124, Tu-134, Tu-154. Not so successful was Tupolev's Tu-144, the first supersonic aeroplane to fly. Amongst the latest products is the Tu-204 airliner with Rolls-Royce engines. The author describes all the Tupolev types and many of the projects in detail, employing the Putnam format.

In HILLARY (And Bill): The SEX Volume—Part One of the Clinton Trilogy, Bill and Hillarys meteoric rise to success is chronicled. It s a carefully plotted path that eventually led them to the White House.

Series "Red stars in the sky" aims to cast more light on the aircraft and the pilots of the Soviet Air Arm in WWII. This second part focuses on bombers and assault aircraft.

The Vickers Wellington was unique among British bombers in that it saw service throughout World War II. Designed by Barnes Wallis, it formed the backbone of Bomber Command's onslaught against Germany in the early years of the war. This book traces the operational career of the aeroplane.

William Weir, author of New Page Book's 50 Battles That Changed the World, takes another look at the history of warfare, focusing on the hardware that served those famous battles, as well as others not as glorious. Included are: * Individual weapons-from spears to the submachine gun. * Crew-served weapons-from battering rams to "Big Bertha". * Unmanned weapons-from punji stakes to "Bouncing Betty" landmines and trap guns. 50 Weapons That Changed Warfare even includes devices that, strictly speaking, are weapons carriers, such as tanks and bombers, but which have had enormous effects on the conduct of war.

Arranged by designers, this second installment of a two-volume set includes the aircraft of such famous names as Ilyushin, Petlyakov, and Tupolev, as well as lesser-known types. In preparing this volume, the authors combed untapped archives in the Soviet Union to uncover a wealth of data that rewrites longheld Western beliefs.

The Heinkel He 111 is perhaps the best known of all the Luftwaffe's World War Two bombers. Designed originally as a civil airliner, it made its mark in the bomber role in the Spanish Civil War. Active from the beginning of WWII, the He 111 played a crucial part in the bombardment of targets in Britain and, later, the Eastern front. The author's history of this important aircraft places it firmly in the context of the course of WWII, and shows how it went from being a fast, effective machine to a seriously outclassed death-trap, attempting to stay on the offensive right up until the end of the war.

Twenty-First Century Warplanes and Helicopters features the most important military fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft currently in service around the world. These include the warplanes currently in US service, such as the B-1 and B-2 bombers, the F-16 Fighting Falcon, F-15 Eagle and F-14 Tomcat. Also featured are the warplanes and helicopters that area a crucial part of NATO's air defence network, such as the Tornado, Harrier, Eurofighter Typhoon and PAH-2 Tiger. In addition, the book contains the most important airborne warning and air control system (AWACS) aircraft in service, such as the Sentry, E-767 and Mainstay.

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.

This long awaited title is a natural successor to the author's successful volume on fighters. The design and development of the British bomber since World War II is covered in similar depth and again the emphasis is placed on the tender design competitions between projects from different companies. Extensive reference has been made to recently- declassified archives in national and industry collections, which allows many little known projects to be brought together within a full narrative of bomber development. The design backgrounds to the V-Bomber program, Canberra, Buccaneer, Avro 730, TSR.2, Harrier, Jaguar and Tornado are revealed in more detail than has probably ever been published, but attention is also given to anti-submarine types and stillborn programs such as the RAF's first requirement for a low level bomber and the AFVG.
