A must for the World War II fighter buff, this book is a
fascinating look into the minds of U.S. and British engineers,
company and NACA test pilots, and Army and Navy/Marine Corps combat
pilots, and presents their late 1944 views of then-current and
possible future fighter aircraft. This report is an official
verbatim transcript of the proceedings of a Joint Fighter
Conference held at the U.S. Navys Patuxent River test center for
eight days in October 1944, and includes frank discussion on the
operational and technical capabilities of the P-39, P-47, P-51,
P-38, Corsair, Hellcat, P-61, YP-59, Mosquito, Spitfire, and other
Allied aircraft, as well as the Japanese Zero. Participants
include: Charles Lindbergh, Lloyd Child, Allen Chilton, Lt. Peter
Twiss, Maj. Thomas Lanphier, Jack Woolams, Boone Guyton and scores
of others. This conference is believed to be the last of several
conducted in wartime in an effort to promote cross-talk between
manufacturers, military servicearms, and Allies, in order to obtain
the best possible fighter aircraft.
