McDonnell XP-67 "Moonbat" - Steve Richardson - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

McDonnell XP-67 "Moonbat" - Steve Richardson - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing PLC - Plusbog.dk

Packed with never-before-seen photos, plans and meticulous new digital artwork, this is the first history of the USAAF''s futuristic World War II prototype interceptor, the XP-67 "Moonbat". The series of X-planes that sprang from the US Army’s Request for Data R40C, focused on high-altitude, high-speed, long-range bomber interceptors. Among these aircraft was the McDonnell Aircraft Company’s first ever clean sheet design, the XP67. Its futuristic lines promised performance that it was ultimately unable to deliver, but development was still underway when disaster struck. Just before Army performance demonstration flights were scheduled to begin, an engine fire destroyed the only XP-67 prototype, leaving a host of unanswered questions about what might have been, and leading to decades of continuing fascination with the XP-67 among aviation buffs and aircraft modelers.The authors of this book have uncovered new sources of information and a wealth of photographs and line drawings that document not just the XP-67 but also its immediate precursors within the McDonnell Aircraft design community, as well as alternative configurations for unbuilt variants aimed at different missions. Packed with unpublished photos of all stages of construction including key airframe changes made after initial flight tests, showing in detail how the final configuration was evolved, this volume finally provides clear focus on a story that has long been shrouded in mystery.

Vee’s For Victory! - Daniel D. Whitney - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Vee’s For Victory! - Daniel D. Whitney - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Over 60 percent of U.S. Army fighters during World War II were powered by the Allison V-1710 engine. It was a strong and reliable power plant that powered the pre-war generation of 400 mph Army pursuits, and the majority of Army combat fighters on through World War II. Even so, the V-1710 was controversial and often maligned, considered by some to have been a “second-rate” engine. Author Whitney’s objective was to find, and tell, the true story of the 70,000 V-1710’s and the people who built them. A critique of Vee’s For Victory! was provided by the Editor of Wings Magazine, August 1997, who wrote: “Presenting the 1929-1948 story of Allison’s V-1710 engine in a revealing investigative style that uncovers a great deal of new material, this well-illustrated volume represents something seldom seen these days – pure, original research. Combined with lucid writing and penetrating analysis, Vee’s for Victory! recounts Allison’s up and down career from Curtiss XP-37, through the XP-58, and GM XP-75 Eagle. In between are all the major fighters which utilized the Allison, including the P-38, P-39, the lightweight fighters XP-46A and XP-47, as well as the early P-51 Mustangs. Author Dan Whitney carefully and seamlessly grafts the histories of these aircraft to their engines and supercharger components, relying on new information from aero engineers and test pilots to present what is sure to become a milestone in the recording of aviation history.”
