In the early days of flight, no one imagined the aeroplane as a weapon of war. Inevitably, the First World War proved the catalyst that was to change the face of battle for ever. But at the war’s outbreak, military aircraft, most of which were slow and stable two-seat biplanes, were held to have only one useful function: reconnaissance.It was not long, however, before pilots had the idea of dropping explosives from their cockpits. Once machine guns began to be fitted to aircraft, two factors immediately became clear: reconnaissance aircraft needed to be defended, and enemy machines had to be attacked and destroyed. So was born the ‘scout’ (as fighter aircraft were known then), to be followed, before long, by the ‘aces’ who flew them.In this wide-ranging and extremely readable study of the fighter pilot’s skills, training and experiences from the early days of flight, and the development of the machines they flew, the author, who has written widely on aerial warfare, takes the reader on a journey from the first flying machines in the late nineteenth century, to the development of the specialised fighter aircraft armed with one or more machine guns, and capable, by the war’s end, of speeds of 140mph and more. Along the way he takes in the development of the devices that allowed a machine gun to fire through the propeller arc, the coming of aerial photography and airborne wireless, parachutes, engine design, test flying and problems of flight, including the dreaded ‘spin’ that killed so may pilots, and the invention of aerial tactics such as the Immelmann Turn.Here, too, are the aces, the pilots who became famous and fêted at home for their exploits, at a time when newspapers were filled with ever-lengthening casualty lists from the Western Front. Some, like Germany’s Manfred von Richthofen - the ‘Red Baron’ - Britain’s James McCudden and Eddie Rickenbacker of the USA, are still well-known today, while others like Raymond Collishaw of the Royal Naval Air Service, France’s René Fonck, and Aleksandr Kazakov of the Imperial Russian Air Service are less prominent.In 1914 it was all new, this business of flying at the enemy. It is a story of creativity, of machines, experiments, turning points, ebb and flow, heroes. Starting from almost nothing, the fighting men tried out their ideas and established the principles that ultimately made aircraft the most important weapon of all.

It was formed in 1941 as successor to the previous United States Army Air Corps, and was the direct predecessor of the United States Air Force, one of the six armed forces of the United States today. Various departments of the USAAF produced instructional handbooks, manuals and pamphlets such as 'Air Force Manuals' and 'Technical Orders', they were noteworthy for their level of detail, clarity and colourful graphic illustrations.

'The Commercial Pilots Handbook', An Essential Companion For the Well Informed Pilot, answers every question you may have on flying 'The Big Jets! Putting together the knowledge, skills, and experience gained over the last 35 years as a fighter pilot and now as an instructor in the world of commercial aviation, the author pens down guidance and technique to demystify the art of flying safely. The author writes for pilots in a language that a pilot understands; simple, crisp, and to the point. Written in an informal style, the book rigorously outlines how a pilot should go about in developing airmanship qualities and fail-safe habits. Providing essential guidance on the technique of flying visual approaches, non-precision approaches on raw data and manually flying ILS approaches, he takes you by the hand and helps you focus on the essentials of such approaches so that these essential skills are not lost over a period. In simple words, he explains critical situations like a stall, jet upset, and wind shear; and explains the reasons behind every action that you need to take to recover from such situations. While doing so he also explains the basic underlying concepts from aerodynamics so that your foundations of understanding are rock solid. Keeping in mind the increasing complexity of handling automation in modern-day commercial aircraft, he explains how to manage automation, avoid mode confusion, and distills a philosophy for you to use to ensure that you understand automation better and develop fail-safe habits in handling it. Critical phases of flight such as the takeoff, approach, landing, and go-around are also covered in great depth, so that you imbibe safe flying habits, build good judgment and gain the necessary knowledge in order to take informed decisions in critical situations during these phases of flight and how to prevent situations like runway excursions. He simplifies important concepts of crew resource management, monitoring duties, and threat & error management; subjects that have gained immense importance over the last few years due to their relevance in preventing accidents and incidents. In addition, he explains how to handle non-normal situations, prioritize tasks and provides guidance on how you should develop your own philosophy towards flying. Through the medium of this book, the author hopes that he can help you become a thorough professional aviator, who has enhanced situational awareness, is diligent and disciplined. Use this book to develop a rock-solid foundation for yourself in the world of civil aviation by getting to grips with the essentials. The author's deep understanding of and empathy towards budding aviators is the reason why this book has been written, make the best of it!

Known as the ¿Thud¿, Republic¿s F-105 Thunderchief entered service in 1958, and flew in a variety of roles through 1984. The largest single-engine fighter in the U.S.A.F. inventory,the F-105 could exceed Mach 1.0 at sea level, and achieve Mach 2.0 at high altitude. It could carry up to 14,000 pounds of ordnance, or about as much as most WWII heavy bombers. The F-105 served as the primary strike aircraft in the early years of the Vietnam conflict, and its pilots flew over 20,000 missions. These included ¿wild weasel¿ flights intended to suppress North Vietnamese air defenses. The dangerous aspects of these missions help account for the aircraft¿s high loss rate ¿ out of 833 F-105s produced, 320 were lost in combat in S.E. Asia. Originally printed by the U.S. Air Force, this handbook provides a fascinating glimpse inside the cockpit of one of history¿s great planes. Classified ¿Restricted¿, the manual was declassified and is here reprinted in book form.

The F-82 ¿Twin Mustang¿ was conceived during WWII as a long-range fighter escort. Like the P-51, it was designed by North American's brilliant engineer, Edgar Schmued. The F-82 utilized two extended P-51 fuselages, mounted to a newly- designed center wing and tail. The plane incorporated new propeller assemblies and a unique, four-wheel landing gear. In short, while the plane would be cosmetically similar to the Mustang, in reality it was an entirely new beast. The F-82 wasn¿t ready before WWII ended, but the program escaped cancellation, and planes entered operational service in 1948. The F-82 became the last piston- powered fighter ordered by the USAF. It flew as an escort for SAC B-29s, and with distinction as a night fighter in Korea. It was retired in 1953. Originally printed by the USAF and North American, this pilot¿s handbook provides a glimpse inside the cockpit of this warbird. Originally classified ¿Restricted¿, the manual was de-classified and is here reprinted in book form.
