Decorative front cover. This is one of The Epic of Flight series. General Billy Mitchell and Reich Marshal Hermann Goring are among the aviators discussed in a study of the growth of air power in the years between World War I and World War II. David Nevin joined the Navy as a teenager and served in the Pacific. After the war he was hired as a police reporter for The Brownsville Herald. That led to work for Time and Life magazines. He would later write 12 history books for Time-Life Books. The consultant was Dr. Eugene M. Emme, a noted authority, author, professor at the U.S. Air Force Academy and historian with the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. Eugene Morlock Emme (3 November 1919 – 24 June 1985) was an American air force pilot during World War II (1939–1945) who became a pioneering historian of aviation, and then the first historian of NASA's aerospace program. Before the December 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor he was a CPT pilot. After the United States joined the war he became a naval aviator. He served in the Pacific theater.[2] In 1948 he transferred to the United States Air Force Reserve. In 1949 Emme received his Ph.D. in Modern European History from the University of Iowa.[1] He became a member of the civilian faculty of the Air University (United States Air Force) in 1949. He was a pioneer in oral history, and interviewed Lord Dowding of the British Royal Air Force, Field Marshal Erhard Milch at Landsberg Prison in 1952, and Dwight D. Eisenhower. More

The development of the aircraft effectively started within a few days of North Korea's June 1950 invasions of south Korea. Lindsay Peacock - Staff Photographer & Writer attended a secondary modern stream that was directly positioned directly under the final approach path for RAF Northolt. Inevitably, it wasn't too long before my gaze ventured skywards to see what was responsible for all the noise - all too often, it was a Belgian or Italian or Norwegian or Indian 'Packet'. The rest, as they say, is history. A career in aviation beckoned and was launched with British European Airways at Heathrow in 1964. A dozen years later, I entered aviation journalism on a freelance basis. Some 35 years down the line, I'm still at it, proving that persistence does sometimes pay dividends. A camera has been an ever-present companion since 1968, when I exposed my first roll of Kodachrome 2, initially using a Zenit E before selling off my entire record collection to fund the purchase of a Pentax S1A just in time for my first visit to the USA in 1969. Latterly, I switched to Nikon, using a succession of FMs until finally converting to digital format in 2007, although I still have some way to go to master the computer wizardry associated with digital imagery. The results of more than 40 years of photography now occupy two filing cabinets and don't get to see daylight all that often. More

Traces the development of stealth technology, explains its design principles, and discusses radar-absorbing materials, control of heat and sound emissions, and the use of electronic warfare systems. Stealth technology (or LO for low observability) is not one technology. It is a set of technologies, used in combinations, that can greatly reduce the distances at which a person or vehicle can be detected; more so radar cross-section reductions, but also acoustic, thermal, and other aspects. The author was a defense journalist specializing in the fields of aviation, guided missiles and electronics. He was formerly defense editor of Flight International, editor of Military Technology and Economics, and editor of Defense Material. He was the author of several books. More
