With wonderfully detailed photographs of various crew positions instrumentation engines and armament along with archival WWII photographs you'll fly with the pilots and crew of this aviation classic."

STRIKE FROM THE SEA: A SURVEY OF BRITISH NAVAL AIR OPERATIONS 1909-69.
London: Arthur Barker 1970. 234 pp 8vo 8 3/4" H. B&w photographs. "On 19 July 1918 six Sopwith Camels took off from the flight deck of the aircraft carrier 'Furious' off the Schleswig coast. Their mission - to bomb the German Zeppelin sheds at Tondern. It was the first time in history that a force of aircraft had been launched against an enemy objective from an aircraft carrier: the first ever strike from the sea. In the half century that has elapsed since that historic day the Royal Navy's airmen have carved out a reputation of courage and skill that is second to none. This is their story - a story of men and courage of crews aircraft and ships often hurled into battle against hopeless odds. The author has covered every major operation involving the Fleet Air Arm and its predecessor the RNAS including Korea Suez Malaya and forgotten 'backyard wars' such as the British naval operations against the Bolsheviks in the Baltic in 1919 when the Navy's airmen bombed the Red Fleet in Kronstadt. The Second World War is covered in detail from the hunt for the 'Graf Spee' to the final assault on Japan and Kamikaze attacks on the carriers of the British Pacific Fleet."

LIGHTNING BUGS AND OTHER RECONNAISSANCE DRONES.
Fallbrook CA: Armed Forces Journal International / Aero 1982. 222 pp large 8vo 9 7/8" H. B&w illustrations. "In the early 1960s technicians took the pilot out of the plane's cockpit put him on the ground at an electronic black box and had him 'fly' spy missions by remotely controlling an pilotless jet airplane. Because of this advanced technique formerly dangerous intelligence-gathering flights in hostile areas were possible without risking the lives of pilots or the loss of extremely costly manned aircraft. This then is the story of 'Lightning Bugs' and other Ryan reconnaissance drones and the contributions they made in combat in Southeast Asia."

"The incredible story of Mitsuo Fuchida the career naval aviator who not only led the air attack on Pearl Harbor but participated in most of the fiercest battles of the Pacific. One of the very few second-echelon Japanese officers to serve through the entire war including Midway the Marianas Turkey Shoot and Leyte Gulf Fuchida narrowly escaped death in a jungle crash was in Hiroshima the day before and the day after the atomic bombing played a dramatic role in squelching a coup d'etat and was even aboard the 'Missouri' at the surrender ceremonies. Fuchida's presence in the Pearl Harbor strike force's command center during the fateful debate about whether to launch a third wave and his attendance at Emperor Hirohito's post-attack briefing shed new light on some of the enduring controversies of the war including Hirohito's role. In his dozens of conversations with Gordon Prange he also drew a memorable portrait of his mentor the great Admiral Yamamoto and his account of the Tokyo war crimes trials and the Occupation vividly evokes the somber atmosphere of a defeated nation."

YANKS OVER EUROPE: AMERICAN FLYERS IN WORLD WAR II.
Lexington: University Press of Kentucky 1996. 148 pp large 8vo 9 1/4" H. "At first there were just a few a scant seven Americans who in 1940 volunteered for the Royal Air Force in time to fly and fight in the Battle of Britain. One of them a Minnesota farm boy named Art Donahue lived long enough to write about it and with his 1941 account 'Tally-Ho! Yankee in a Spitfire' began a series of memoirs that now number in the hundreds. This book examines more than one hundred narrative accounts of the air war over Europe written since 1941 by American flyers. The experience of combat inspired these men to combine exquisite descriptions with probing thoughtfulness. But the differences in their roles in the war whether hotshot fighters or beleaguered bomber crew members affects how they tell their stories. The author weaves these individual accounts into a tightly drawn highly readable book while letting the flyers speak in their own words."

MILITARY AIRCRAFT MARKINGS & PROFILES.
Hamlyn London 1990 first edition. 192 pp 4to 12" H hard cover in dust jacket. ISBN 0600569764 "Featuring 140 aircraft and over 850 full colour illustrations and photographs this book traces the story of military aircraft markings and camouflage from World War I to the present day. Each illustration has been carefully selected to show how the markings and colour schemes have evolved influenced by the aircraft's military role and mission capability. Here you will find some of the world's most famous fighting mach i n e s from the Avro 504 to the Panavia Tornado and the Fokker DR1 to the McDonnell Douglas F-15 Eagle. There are transports like the Lockheed C-130 as well as helicopters such as Sikorsky's UH-60 Black Hawk. All are shown in a variety of mili ta ry c ol ou r schemes. The fighter role in the early years often combined bomber and reconnaissance tasks. It was only later the specific function of an aircraft in relation to its environment became an issue. The bomber mission - both night and da y - pr odu ce d some subtle changes of pattern over the years as did the interdiction role. Over the sea maritime aircraft also needed to be given schemes relative to their areas of operation. Special colour schemes are also illustrated and dis cuss ed i nclu din g the 'Tiger Meet' together with the special operations camouflage often applied for a military exercise or air show."
