Designed just before World War Two after special requirements from the American tycoon Howard Hughes, the Lockheed Constellation is celebrated today as one of the finest flying machine ever built. As a civilian aircraft, it has been the first airliner able to cross the Atlantic Ocean non stop, but it also has had a respectable military career, thanks to its brilliant characteristics which allowed it to fulfill missions of electronic warfare and AWACS. Details all the different models, and comprehensively and beautifully illustrated throughout.

Of all the seaplanes to serve with the RNAS, and latt erly RAF, in th e 1914-1918 war, the ungainly Short 184 unquestionably remains the best known. It was, to use that overworked aeronautical cliche, one of the conflict's great workhorses. Its less than aesthetic appearance matched the unremarkable nature of its war time career, yet it served in various forms from 1915 right up to the Armistice and beyond - indeed it remained in production until the end of 1918. There were some claims to fame. No.842 was the first ever aeroplane to torpedo an enemy vessel in action; another, 8359, was at Jutland and segments of it survive to this day at Yeovilton's famous Fleet Air Arm Museum, a somewhat forlorn memorial to a type that richly deserves it place in aviation history.

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. The T-29/C-131/R4Y series of aircraft was one of the military's many cost-saving examples of purchasing existing civil and commercial designs for their utility and transport needs.

Originally intended as a MINI DATAFILE, author Gregory Alegi has unearthed so much new material on the M.5 'fighter boat' that only the full DATAFILE treatment can do this fascinating machine full justice. With over 100 Illustrations, the majority previously unpublished, detailed narrative and colour notes with revised GAs from Ian Stair, this fine study of the colourful Macchi M.5 is a worthy addition to our growing list of Italian subjects. Never before has this flying boat been so accurately and comprehensively documented - the sheer variety of sparkling colour schemes alone should put it at the top of every modeller's new project list.

The beginning of the Cold War and the perceived need by Soviet political and military leaders to deliver nuclear strikes against the continental USA led the Soviet Union to develop new delivery vehicles - primarily strategic bombers. Thus, in 1951 the Tupolev Design Bureau brought out the Tu-95. Known to the West as the Bear, this machine was unique in that it combined turboprop engines with swept wings - a feature which accounted for the bomber's impressive top speed of 910 km/h. The basic bomber soon became a symbol of the Soviet threat and the progenitor of a whole family of combat aircraft which included missile carriers, an over-the-horizon targeting version working with missile submarines, reconnaissance versions, a long-range ocean anti-submarine warfare aircraftwhich was sufficiently different to receive a separate designation (Tu-142), a communications relay version, and assorted test beds. The Tu-95 also served as the basis for the impressive Tu-114 long-haul airliner. Some of the Bear's versions remain in service to this day. This book contains approximately 200 black-and-white and color photos illustrating the type's development and service from inception to the present day. Photos include detailed captions.
