As the climate changes it is even more vital to protect the world's
forests. They provide both the lungs' of the world and the natural
resources for many industries. This book looks at both the past and
the current selection of fixed-wing aircraft, helicopters and
support aircraft tasked with protecting our natural environment
from fire. Covering America, Canada, Russia, southern Europe and
other nation states, the operators of these fleets - governments
and private contractors - are looked at, along with their aircraft,
as they go about the dangerous task of protecting the world's
forests. With over 230 images, this book covers all the aircraft
types used in the water bomber role - World War Two fighters and
bombers, piston-powered airliners and cargo aircraft of the 1950s,
turboprop aircraft, wide-body jets, as well as the custom-built
water bombers and, finally, both large and small helicopters with
tanks or under-slung loads.
