CONSOLIDATED B-36: Convair B-36 Peacemaker: Visual History
Conceived during WWII and first flown on 8 August 1946, seven decades later the Convair B-36 remains the largest bomber in the world. The requirements for the aircraft that became the B-36 were born out of concern about the German advances in Europe. The US Army Air Corps issued a requirement for a very long-range heavy bomber-an aircraft capable of striking targets in Europe from bases in North America. |

Davies, Peter 012 DOUGLAS D-558: D-558-1 Skystreak and D-558-2 Skyrocket
The six Douglas D-558 research aircraft, built as two variants, were produced for a US Navy and NACA collaborative project to investigate flight in the high subsonic and supersonic regimes and to develop means of coping with the dangerous phenomena of compressibility and pitch-up which had caused many accidents to early jets. Wind tunnels could not provide the necessary data so pilots had to risk their safety in experimental aircraft which, for their time, achieved phenomenal performance. Supported by full-color artwork including three-view plates of the two D-558 models and a technical view of the D-2 cockpit. 1 vol, 80 pgs

Richardson, Steve 017 MCDONNELL XP-67 MOONBAT
History of the USAAF's futuristic World War II prototype interceptor, the McDonnell Aircraft Company's XP-67 Moonbat with photos, plans, and meticulous new digital artwork. Futuristic lines promised performance, 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. Also examines the XP-67's immediate precursors as well as alternative configurations for unbuilt variants aimed at different missions. 1 vol, 80 pgs

Wolf, William 014 WORLD WAR II US GUNSHIPS YB-40 FLYING FORTRESS and XB-41 LIBERATOR BOMBER ESCORTS
Describes the politics, development, and associated problems of both escort types. The XB-40 and XB-41 were secret, little-known experimental modifications of the B-17F and B-24D, respectively, into heavily-armed bomber gunships sometimes referred to as bomber escorters. They were developed during early World War II in response to the lack of a USAAF long-range fighter aircraft able to escort and protect regular B-17 formations making the round trip from Britain deep into Germany. |

Wolf, William 016 DOUGLAS XB-19: America's Giant World War II Intercontinental Bomber
This book provides an illustrated history of the XB-19 intercontinental bomber and the text is supported by previously unpublished photographs. Since the XB-19 project was top secret and there was only one example built there is little information remaining for researchers. Over the years Bill Wolf has collected the largest quantity of XB-19 material and a number of photographs, including a copy of the original Army Air Force acceptance of the aircraft, first-hand narratives of its first flight, and other USAAC and Douglas Company documents. |
