A propos de cet article

The format is approximately 8.75 inches by 11.25 inches. 232, [1] pages. Decorative endpapers. Illustrations (color). Chapters are annual and in chronological order. Appendices are of aircraft and on the Department of Defense designation system for military aircraft, 1963. Robert D. Archer was a respected aviation author, photographer and aircraft designer. Bob entered the aircraft industry in 1942 as a design engineer at Napiers. He was active in the Royal Observer Corps of the RAF. Bob left England to join Canadair in 1954, and then came to California in 1956, to work at Northrop on fighter aircraft. In 1964, he joined Douglas Aircraft (later McDonnell-Douglas). He completed his career as manager on the fly-by-wire control system of the C-17 Globemaster III. He retired in 1991. Bob was the author of numerous articles and books on aviation. The USAF Flight Test Center at Edwards AFB has long been one of the most interesting test sites in the world. This pictorial history covers all of the aircraft shown publicly between 1957 and 1966, with a chapter for each year listing all of the aircraft shown, giving the manufacturer, designation, popular name and serial number. Aircraft range from the X-1B and X-5 to the XB-70, F-111 and SR-71, including nearly all of the fighters from the F-80 through the Century series, plus the Navy types. Transports, including a few civil jets, attack aircraft, trainers, bombers, helicopters, and many unusual VTOL aircraft are also fully covered in the author's more than 600 color photographs.…
