The B-52 has been flying and in service since 1954. Only 744 were built, but they have captured the imagination of all aviation fans. Nicknamed "BUFF" Big, Ugly, Fat, Fellow" (polite version), Boeing first built this bomber to carry nuclear bombs against the Soviet Union. Many updates occured over the years and the B-52 gained infamy during the Vietnam war where it was modified to carry 70,000 lbs of bombs (that would take 17 WW2 B-17's to carry that payload). This In Action book was published in 1992, so it just got in a few paragraphs of the First Gulf war. But that's not really a problem, since all models from A through H are captured in this book. Line drawings, B&W photos, excellent captions, 2 pages of color diagrams for modelers and enough narrative to give a good history of Boeing's B-52. All aspects of the plane are covered in detail - weapons carried, modifications made over the years.

Дальний бомбардировщик Ер-2 должен был прийти на смену устаревшим ДБ-3, но, несмотря на ряд оригинальных решений и массу достоинств (большая бомбовая нагрузка, мощное оборонительное вооружение, два пилота), из-за проблем с двигателями этот самолет выпускался лишь небольшими сериями.

The redoubtable Focke Wulf 190 fighter - or, more precisely, the A, F and G models of the FW 190 - are described in this 1999 Squadron/Signal release by Brian Filley. Luftwaffe fans should enjoy this photo-packed tribute to what many believe was the Luftwaffe's best fighter. After a brief introduction to the FW 190's origin and early development, Filley covers each model in turn, describing the various sub-types such as A-1, A-2, A-3, etc. with text and numerous illustrations. When it first appeared in the fall of 1941, the FW 190 gave the Germans air superiority over RAF Spitfires and Hurricanes. It subsequently performed well against USAAF day bombers, flew nightfighter missions, was a very effective fighter-bomber and even served as a torpedo bomber! Filley's book includes over 100 b&w and color photographs; numerous side-views, four-views, scrap views of weapons, landing gear, wing details, etc.; and two pages of Don Greer color profiles.

Historians generally agree that the birth of American air power occurred in the two decades between the world wars, when airmen in the U. S. Army and Navy forged the aircraft, the organization, the cadre of leadership, and the doctrines that formed a foundation for the country to win the air war in World War II. Nearly every scholarly study of this era focuses on these developments, or upon the aircraft of the period; very few works describe precisely what the flyers were doing and how they overcame the difficulties they faced in creating air forces. In this detailed, comprehensive volume, Dr. Maurer Maurer, retired senior historian of the United States Air Force Historical Research Center, fills this void for land-based aviation.
