Biplanes, Triplanes and Seaplanes
| Total Clicks: 2108 | Report Broken Link |
by Jim Winchester
Hardcover: 256 pages
Publisher: Thunder Bay Press (November 9, 2004)
ISBN: 159223223X

Biplanes and seaplanes dominated early aviation. The flying surfaces on biplanes added strength to the structure and provided extra lift to compensate for comparatively small engines, while seaplanes were favored for the unlimited space water provided for long take-off runs. This is an extensive guide to more than 120 biplanes, triplanes, and seaplanes, from early designs such as the Wright Flyer to jet flying boats and timeless classics like the Tiger Moth and the Curtiss JN-4 "Jenny." 600 color and archival black-and-white photographs are featured in this extraordinary book.

Hornet's Sting
| Total Clicks: 2107 | Report Broken Link |
by Derek Robinson
Paperback: 416 pages
Publisher: Cassell (December 31, 2001)
Language: English
ISBN: 0304358932

All is not quiet on the Western Front in 1917, and the men of Hornet Squadron feel as if the war will last for decades. For Woolley and his fellow pilots, only two things can take their mind off combat's tedious brutality: the nurses and a potent brew called "Hornet's Sting." But, as the big summer offensives begin, not even those provide any comfort...Strong, cynical, and extremely well-researched, Robinson's novel captures the reality of the air war and a pilot's life during that horrific time.
