These specialist US military freighters have a significant history and are well known but underpublished. First flown in 1944, with deliveries from the end of 1945, the C-82 was the first freighter to really take advantage of the uninterrupted cargo hold and ground-level loading advantages conferred by the twin-boom layout. A planned lengthy production run was canceled after VJ-Day so that the total number built was 220, some of which served in the Berlin Airlift. An improved version, redesignated as the C-119, was developed from 1947 with deliveries beginning in 1949. It featured more powerful engines, a widened fuselage, and re-designed cockpit area. Nearly 1,100 C-119s were built in various versions, the most numerous of which was the C-119G. The type saw lengthy and important service principally with the United States Air Force Troop Carrier Command wings, Military Air Transport Service, and the Air Force Reserve. It participated extensively in the Korean War, flying from Japan, and gave sterling service for many years thereafter. Overseas customers included Belgium, Italy, and Taiwan. There were also various experimental versions. This Aerofax will be a valuable tribute to a somewhat unrecognized and unsung workhorse.

Developed as a high-capacity long-range airliner for use on Aeroflot's busiest routes, the Ilyushin IL-18 four-turboprop airliner first flew on July 4th, 1957. Despite some initial difficulties, this Soviet equivalent of the Lockheed Electra eventually proved to be extremely successful, offering high comfort and good operating economics for its day. The IL-18 was supplied to many "friendly nations" in Eastern Europe, Asia, Africa, the Middle East and the Caribbean. Its uses included passenger and cargo carriage, VIP transportation, support of Soviet research stations in Antarctica, electronic espionage and various research and development programs, both civil and military.
This book charts the development history of the IL-18. It also provides information on an earlier piston-engined airliner of the same name which turned out to be ahead of its time and was destined never to enter production. It also describes all the principal commercial versions as well as test and development aircraft.
Separate chapters are dedicated to aircraft in the IL18 family which bore separate designations, such as the IL-20M ELINT, the IL-20RT space tracker, the IL-22 airborne command post, the IL-24N ice reconnaissance aircraft used to support commercial shipping operations in the Arctic regions and the IL-38 anti-submarine warfare aircraft.
