Biplanes and Bombsights | Total Clicks: 60533 | Report Broken Link | British Bombing in World War I by George K. Williams Paperback: 332 pages Publisher: University Press of the Pacific (May 1, 1999) Language: English ISBN-10: 1410200124 ISBN-13: 978-1410200129 Product Dimensions: 9 x 6.3 x 0.8 inches Shipping Weight: 1.1 pounds    Colonel Williams presents a comprehensive study of British bombing efforts in the Great War. He contends that the official version of costs and results underplays the costs while overplaying the results. Supported by postwar findings of both US and British evaluation teams, he argues that British bombing efforts were significantly less effective than heretofore believed.    Colonel Williams also presents a strong argument that German air defenses caused considerably less damage to British forces than pilot error, malfunctioning aircraft, and bad weather. That we believed otherwise supports the notion that British bombing raids had forced Germany to transfer significant air assets to defend against them. Williams, however, found no evidence that any such transfer occurred. Actual results, Colonel Williams argues, stand in strong contrast to claimed results. Rate This Title - choose --12345678910

Biplanes, Triplanes and Seaplanes | Total Clicks: 66569 | 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.
