In 1926, the fledgling Lockheed Aircraft Company, under the direction of Malcolm and Allen Lockheed and John Northrop, introduced the first high performance business plane - the Vega. Other ships such as the Sirius, Altair and Orion soon followed. Until the crash of the stock market in 1929 things looked bright for the young company, but from that point on, the outlook was much less clear. By 1932, it appeared the company would follow many others into bankruptcy; but such was not to be. Robert Gross, Carl Squier and Lloyd Stearman believed the company had a future and went to the U.S. District Court in Los Angeles where they purchased Lockheed for the princely sum of $40,000. The first new design to come from the reorganized company was the twin-engined Electra. In March 1933, a model of this new ship was sent to the University of Michigan for wind tunnel tests. One of the men responsible for the tests was a young engineer by the name of Clarence L. "Kelly" Johnson. The Lockheed management was so impressed with Johnson that he was hired. This proved an extremely wise move, for four years later, the design of the P-38 would spring from his fertile mind.

In the skies above Europe and the Pacific during World War II, was one "Brute" of an airplane with the appropriate name of "Thunderbolt". Though nearly twice the weight of other single engine fighters, the Thunderbolt stood toe to toe with the best airplanes the enemy had and slugged its way to an enviable combat record. This is the storyof the Jug and the men who flew it.

Between the covers of this book can be found some of the finest German wartime photographs ever taken. Each of the photos is unique in the sense that only operational aircraft are shown. These are not manufacturer's publicity photographs that have been seen time after time, but propaganda shots originally meant to be published in German wartime publications. At least 90 percent of the pictures in this book have never been published before. In this book: Fieseler Fi 156 Storch, Arado Ar 196 Floatplane, Dornier Flying Boats, Fokker T-VIII, Messerschmitt Me 323 Gigant.

The B-47 was the backbone of SAC's bomber fleet In the 'fifties, yet only 2,042 Stratojets were built for the "Cold War" period. Compare this with the over 12,700 B-17s built for use during World War Two. Although only a relatively small number of B-47s were built, those were quite capable of doing the job in the early to middle years of the jet age. Design on what was to become the B-47 began in 1943. It was not until 1945, however, that its definitive form began to take shape. In competition with the XB-45, XB-46, XB-48 and XB-49, only the last could offer any design advancement that could compare with the XB-47. With six jet engines, a 35-degree swept wing and a surprisingly small crew of three, the Stratojet was a daring leap forward in aircraft design. The Air Force was very pleased with Boeing's design and two prototypes (46-065 and 46-066) were ordered. 46-065 was rolled out of its Seattle hanger on 12 September 1947. Powered by 3,750-lb. thrust General Electric J35s, it flew on 17 December 1947. Later the entire B-47 fleet was powered by a series of progressively uprated J47 engines.

Alle früheren Hefte über die deutschen zweimotorigen Kampfflugzeuge der Wehrmacht sind vergriffen. Zur Befriedigung der Nachfrage haben wir uns daher entschlossen, einen Sonderband über diese Typen folgen zu lassen. Auch hierbei wurde darauf geachtet, daß sich gegenüber den früheren Bände keine Abbildungen wiederholen.
