Colorful, Wide-ranging Guide to Tailhook Aircraft!

Aircraft carriers have been in existence since 1917. Thomas Newdick surveys the myriad variety of aircraft that have flown from those carriers in CARRIER AIRCRAFT 1917-PRESENT, a 2011 Amber Books release.First off, Newdick's book is part of THE ESSENTIAL AIRCRAFT IDENTIFICATION GUIDE series. Unike others in the series, it makes a game effort to live up to the series title. While it isn't an exhaustive, definitive guide to the 100+ aircraft and helos covered in the book, it is a comprehensive, well-illustrated survey that provides basic specs and limited development/combat history of A5M4s, F4B-4s, Sea Gladiators, Avengers, Buffalos, Corsairs, Sea Furies, Sea Hawks, Trackers, A-4s, Alizes, Crusaders, Sea Kings, F-4s, etc.The book is arranged chronologically, chapter headings including 'The Early Years 1917-39,' 'World War II 1939-45,' 'The Cold War 1945-89' (the longest section) and 'The Modern Era.' Each chapter then gives summaries of carrier aircraft development and usage country-by-country. This is a rather clumsy arrangement since the reader is forever jumping back-and-forth chronologically and can't get a general sense of overall tailhook aircraft development.That being said, CARRIER AIRCRAFT 1917-PRESENT is an interesting and useful survey of tailhook aircraft over the past 90-odd years. Recommended.

Sauberes, übersichtliches Nachschlagewerk

Was an den Büchern dieser Reihe immer wieder besonders beeindruckt, ist der saubere, übersichtliche Stil. Aber auch inhaltlich ist "Carrier Aircraft 1917-Present" gut gelungen. Knapp 190 Seiten vermitteln einen ordentlichen Überblick zu den Flugzeugträgergestützten Flugzeugen seit 1917, die in vier Kapitel - Die frühen Jahre, II. Weltkrieg, Kalter Krieg sowie die Moderne Zeit - unterteilt sind. Vom Umfang her nimmt die Zeit des Kalten Krieges den größten Raum ein.Neben den Staaten, die Flugzeugträger und Trägerflugzeuge nutzten und nutzen, gibt es interessante Tabellen zu Gliederungen, Einsatzverbänden, aber auch technische Daten zu einzelnen Flugzeugen. Ein großes Plus stellen selbstverständlich die zahlreichen, sehr schönen farbigen Seitenansichten, ergänzt um Fotos, dar. Das bei dem Umfang des Buches nicht jeder Aspekt berücksichtigt werden kann ist klar, andererseits fehlen eben einige Details zu den Entwicklungen, Ausstattungen, Versionen, Einsatzzeiten. Doch dann wäre es mindestens doppelt so dick (und teuer ?). Als allgemeiner Überblick allemal hilfreich und durchaus empfehlenswert.
