F-8 Crusader Units of the Vietnam War (Paperback): Peter Mersky F-8 Crusader Units of the Vietnam War (Paperback)
Peter Mersky; Illustrated by Tom Tullis, Iain Wyllie, Mike Chappell, Mark Styling
R504 Discovery Miles 5 040 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Known to its pilots as the 'last of the gunfighters' due to its quartet of Colt-Browning Mk 12 20 mm cannon, the F-8 Crusader was numerically the most populous fighter in the US Navy at the start of America's involvement in the Vietnam conflict in 1964 - some 482 F-8C/D/Es equipped 17 frontline units. It enjoyed great success against North Vietnamese Mig-17s and Mig-21s during the Rolling Thunder campaign of 1965-68, officially downing 18 jets, which represented 53 per cent of all Mig claims lodged by Navy squadrons during this period.

Mosquito Bomber/Fighter-Bomber Units 1942-45 (Paperback): Martin Bowman Mosquito Bomber/Fighter-Bomber Units 1942-45 (Paperback)
Martin Bowman; Illustrated by Chris Davey, Iain Wyllie, Mike Chappell
R480 Discovery Miles 4 800 Ships in 12 - 19 working days

Truly an example of engineering ingenuity born out of the desperation of war, the legendary 'all-wooden' Mosquito was perhaps the best twin-engined fighter-bomber of its size to see action in World War II (1939-1945). The first bomber variant to enter service was the B Mk IV, initial examples of which were issued to No 2 Group's No 105 Sqn at Swanton Morley, in Norfolk, in November 1941. Considerably faster than the unit's previous Blenheim Mk IVs, powered by inline rather than radial engines, and made of wood instead of metal alloy, the Mosquito initially proved a challenging mount for both air and groundcrew alike.
