GREAT BOOK OF MODERN WARPLANES
GUNSTON, BILL
1988 15412 Product Description: This massive volume presents the most accurate, up-to-date, and highly illustrated descriptions of today's warplanes. The majority of the aircraft featured have been battle-tested in the skies over Iraq and the Balkans. The remainder are either currently being flight-tested or are ready for production. Many of the names are familiar to TV viewers and aviation enthusiasts the world over: the stealthy F-117 Nighthawk fighter and B-2 bomber; the carrier-borne F/A-18 Hornet and F-14 Tomcat; the battle-hardened A-10 Warthog, Harrier/AV-8 and Tornado; and the ubiquitous F-16 Falcon and F-15 Eagle. They are joined by by America's next generation F-22 Raptor stealth fighter and Joint Strike Fighter; Sweden's Saab Gripen, France's Rafale, the multinational Eurofighter, and Russian MiGs and Sukhois A multi-page spread for each aircraft includes a wealth of detail: development history, powerplant data, weapons and avionics, deployment, performance specs, and combat analysis-complete with dramatic color photos, cutaway drawings, color profiles depicting markings, and explanatory diagrams.

THE STORY OF AVIATION: A CONCISE HISTORY OF FLIGHT
Gunston, Bill Et
1997 40460 Aviation has come a long way from Orville Wright's historic 12-second hop over 120 feet of windswept North Carolina beach in 1903. Today, millions of travelers routinely fly thousands of miles per day in cavernous, luxuriously designed machines capable of incredible speeds. How we got from there to here is the subject of this lively history, written by five distinguished experts with varied backgrounds in the field of flight. The authors examine the airplane's diverse career, exploring how it has been used for military defense, emergency rescue, and freight delivery, as well as for sheer recreation (as evidenced by the growing number of amateur pilots). They also discuss such spin-off industries as building and maintenance, operations, and passenger service. Illustrated with b&w & color photographs, here is the perfect gift for the aviation enthusiast or anyone who dreams about the future of flight. 8 1/2" x 12". 0760707537 / 9780760707531
