For over 40 years NATO and Warsaw Pact aircraft faced each other
across the Iron Curtain, or fought in proxy wars around the world.
Illustrated with detailed artworks of combat aircraft and their
markings, Aircraft of the Cold War 1945-1991: Identification Guide
is a comprehensive study of the planes in service with NATO and the
Warsaw Pact and their respective units from the end of World War II
until the reunification of Germany. Arranged chronologically by
theatre, the book gives a complete organizational breakdown of the
units of both sides, including the units and aircraft used in the
proxy wars fought in Korea, Vietnam, the Middle East and elsewhere
as well as the 'frontline' in Germany. Packed with 250 colour
profiles of every major type of combat aircraft from the era,
Aircraft of the Cold War 1945-1991 is an essential reference guide
for modellers, military historians and aircraft enthusiasts.
First published in 1998 as volume 8 in the NASA "Monograph in
Aerospace History" series. This study contains photographs and
illustrations.
The story of Leith-built ships continues in this third volume from
just after the conclusion of World War Two to 1965. However, the
world was different; the men came back from the front and those
women who had been working in the shipyards lost their jobs. All
shipyards were experiencing full order books, replacing, or
repairing ships lost or damaged in the conflict, but the industry
was changing albeit slowly at first. The advent of electric welding
would eventually change the way ships were built leading to the
demise of the Rivet Squad, which was replaced as a cost cutting
exercise as it became the accepted method of ship construction.
Henry Robb Shipyard participated in the massive new shipbuilding
programme with a great many vessels being ordered from two of the
largest customers of the yard. Many orders came from the giant
Ellerman Lines, while a great many more were ordered by other
customers, such as the Union Steamship Company of New Zealand. The
Admiralty also remained a customer and a few large supply ships
would be built in this time. In this volume the author has not
forgotten the people who were the very fabric of the yard and
community. Personal accounts are included from those who built or
sailed on these vessels. This is the story of a mighty industry,
but one which nonetheless had begun its decline. In the century
from 1893, this nation went from producing 80% of all the worlds'
commercial ships to producing no commercial ships at all. It is a
sad fact, but this volume keeps alive the story of the Leith-built
ships and the vibrant industry that once existed.
Forced by federal regulations to retire at age 60, Jerry Sorlucco
had served as an airline captain for nearly forty years and was
probably the senior pilot on the planet. During that long career,
he flew everything from Dos to Boeing 767s. His memoir documents
that experience professionally, personally and to some extent
technically. Anyone with any curiosity about the life, work, gear
and training of an airline pilot will find something engaging in
this book. The story begins with an Italian kid from Brooklyn''s
early love of flying and ends with his final flight from Frankfurt
in 1997. Photographs of the aircraft Sorlucco flew, crewmembers,
and his friends and family enhance the lively narrative. Given the
sorry state of the airline industry, this story is especially
timely. Sorlucco discusses some of the reasons for the industry''s
collapse and offers some possible solutions. In fact, the entire
narrative is framed in its historical context, so the reader will
be constantly reminded of the wider world surrounding a personal
journey. A Good Stick is a must read for the thousands of fellow
pilots who shared an era with Jerry Sorlucco, for young pilots
trying to keep afloat in a sea of airline red ink, and for anyone
wondering what on Earth happened to America''s airline industry.
For the aficionado, the historical and technical data in the
narrative is not merely anecdotal; it is thoroughly researched and
accurate.
Modern Military Aircraft is a fascinating guide to the most
important military aircraft developed since World War II. This
highly illustrated book features a wide range of aircraft that
served in the Korean War, the Vietnam War, the Cold War, conflicts
in the Middle East and the Falklands. Types of aircraft range from
front line fighters to reconnaissance aircraft to bombers to
interceptors and helicopters. Spanning such famous planes as the
Lockheed Blackbird and the MiG-21, Modern Military Aircraft also
includes lesser-known examples such as the South African Atlas
Cheetah and the EH101 Merlin helicopter. Arranged by countries,
each of the 75 featured aircraft is presented with outstanding
fully annotated three-view colour artworks, development and service
history, specification tables and colour and black-&-white
photographs. With a wealth of information and splendidly presented,
this book is a must for aviation enthusiasts.
Lincolnshire is a largely rural county, which was reflected in the
early history of the railway lines. The main lines mostly passed
through on their way to somewhere else and the local traffic was
handled by a large number of branch lines. Author Alan Stennett
explores the history of the railways in Lincolnshire, starting with
the very early days when it was expected that Lincoln would be on a
main line to the north, only to lose out to what we now know as the
East Coast Main Line. Using archive maps, original photographs and
other sources, he traces the development of railways in the county,
and their role in serving the great fishing port of Grimsby,
'bracing' East Coast resorts such as Cleethorpes and Skegness, the
iron and steel industries of Scunthorpe and the agricultural
heartland of the Fens. The network saw many early closures before
being savaged by the Beeching cuts, but the story continues to the
present day, where new developments offer renewed hope for what is
left of the system.
Each Haynes manual provides specific and detailed instructions for
performing everything from basic maintenance and troubleshooting to
a complete overhaul of the machine, in this case theHonda CB600
& 1000, model years 1987 through 1996, model years 2000-2010.
Do-it-yourselfers will find this service and repair manual more
comprehensive than the factory manual, making it an indispensable
part of their tool box. A typical Haynes manual covers: general
information; troubleshooting; lubrication and routine maintenance;
engine top end; engine lower end; primary drive, clutch and
external shift mechanism; transmission and internal shift
mechanism; engine management system; electrical system; wheels,
tires and drivebelt; front suspension and steering; rear
suspension; brakes; body, and color wiring diagrams. An index makes
the manual easy to navigate.
Haynes Manuals explain best: step-by-step procedures linked to
hundreds of easy-to-follow photos; written from 'hands-on'
experience...using common tools; quick and easy troubleshooting
sections; detailed wiring diagrams; and color spark plug diagnosis.
