column5 Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 Just finshed this book: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1580071104 This is one of the best books I've added to my collection in years. The author discusses the development of carrier-based jet fighters to 1962 with emphasis on the Navy's development and procurement process. It is this particular emphasis that makes the book unique. All fighter types from the FH-1 to the F4H are covered in good detail. A plus is that most of the photos in the book are ones that I had not seen before. Quote
JediMaster Posted March 25, 2008 Posted March 25, 2008 The wife has placed severe restrictions on my book purchases due to lack of space and inbound arrival of Jedi 2.0 in another 2 trimesters. Too bad you can never find books like these at the library. Quote
