Another in this highly respected series which forms a comprehensive guide to fighter aircraft (and many other types) operated by the US Navy and US Marine Corps in the years since World War II. Each is an extensively illustrated guide to markings carried by each unit operating the type in question and has drawings which will be invaluable for both historian and modeller.
The unusual and innovative swing-wing Jaguar program ended up being a one airplane project even though during its development orders were placed for one hundred and twelve aircraft. That ship, Bureau number 124435, would only be flown by one pilot, Corwin "Corky" Meyer. When the program concluded in 1953 after over a year of flight testing, the flight test example 124435 along with the number two ship 124436, which was some 90% complete , were shipped to the Naval Air Material Center, Philadelphia, for use in testing barriers and barricades. The static test article, which was some 60% complete, was shipped to the Aberdeen Proving Ground in Maryland for use as a target. 49 photos, 6 pages of drawings.

After losing the Battle of Britain, the German Luftwaffe switched to night bombing raids in an attempt to defeat British morale. This study examines the causes, effects and outcome of the raids on the civilian population of Britain in 1940-41. The author discusses the German decision to switch to night attacks, their weapons and tactics, the poor initial British defences, and the reactions of the civilian population to the prolonged bombing raids. He also attempts to assess the responsibility for the breach of British defences. He discusses the removal of the commander responsible for defence, political responses, and the effects of the raids on war production. Lastly, the book deals with the retaliation by Bomber Command, and the final attacks.
