The folks at
RAF-in-Combat.com have continued with their series of downloadable books concentrating on
USN aircraft types from 1922 until 1962. This time frame basically covers the
old style of aircraft designations that was used by the Navy for forty years
until the system was unified in 1962. This review edition is the printed
version, which is also available.
This volume concludes the "A" types and covers the Savage, Vigilante, Mauler and Corsair. It then continues with the full round of "B" aircraft, all of which are pre-war types and include aircraft such as the BG-1 and the BT-1, real 'yellow wings' aircraft.
Each
of the entries covers an explanation of all the letters and numbers in
the type's nomenclature as well as the number built and the serial
numbers of those planes. Variants each have their own section so ou will
find, for instance, a section on the XAJ-1 and another on the production
AJ-1 as well as other versions of the same basic airframe. Each section
has a very nice selection of photographs, all of them fairly large and
many of them in color.
It is a superbly researched and developed book and I am positive you will find it as interesting a read as did I. Highly recommended.
