Great Campaigns of World War II

<p>Interested in aviation as early as 1910, William Boeing waited until 1914 for his first airplane ride. In 1916, he founded the airplane company that put Seattle on the aviation map. Before Boeing, Seattle featured aircraft builders like Eugene Romano, G. T. Takasou, Tom Hamilton, and Herb Munter. Boeing emerged during World War I and, by the beginning of World War II, had become a world leader. In those years, lesser known individuals like Eddie Hubbard, Percy Barnes, Vern Gorst, the Becvar brothers, Elliott Merrill, Jim Galvin, and Lana Kurtzer influenced commercial aviation around Seattle. Drawing on photographs from around the area, Seattle's Commercial Aviation: 1908-1941 illustrates the early days beginning with dirigible flights, recognizes the arrival of commercial airmail and the airlines, salutes the local operators, and marks Seattle's emergence as the aviation gateway to Alaska.</p>

<p>The Douglas DC-3...certainly the most recognized and celebrated aircraft the world over. This books takes the reader into the more obscure facets of the DC-3 through the long years of its use. Included is the complete history of the DC-3 turb ojet and turboprop conversions from early efforts in the late 1940s to the latest Basler product. Also detailed is the reliable service of the DC-3 with the U.S. Federal Aviation Administration, one of the largest civil users of the DC-3. In mid-1994, a p air of veteran DC-3s made a pilgrimage back to the skies of Normandy to commemorate the D-Day landings of 1944...and the story of that historic sojourn is included here in both words and pictures. A color photo section containing views of many preserved D C-3s from around the world is featured, along with intriguing looks at a number of derelict and forgotten airframes. Also featured: where can you fly a DC-3 today, or where can you just catch a ride on one. Detailed appendices with serial number lists, ai rcraft histories, etc. A fresh look at the venerable Douglas DC-3.</p>
