American Military Transport Aircraft Since 1925 Review: Outstanding! Describes land-based planes, seaplanes, and amphibians. Good data tabulations. - Great book! Each aircraft is given a brief design development history and a tabulation of dimensions and performance characteristics. Land-based, planes, seaplanes, and amphibians are included. Foreign aircraft acquired by the US are also included. Aircraft capacity in terms of number of passengers or troops and weight of cargo (lbs.) is also given. The tabulation a!so in includes the number produced for the military. An appendix describes the Army, USAAC, USAAF, USAF, and Navy designation systems over the years. An oddity that I had never realized before is that North American Aviation apparently never manufactured transport aircraft for the US Navy during World War II. At any rate, no such North American aircraft are described in the book! North American did manufacture transport aircraft for the Air Force -- but not for the Navy. Review: The ultimate bible on US military transport planes - Ever since World War II, the United States has relied on cargo planes as an efficient means of hauling soldiers and military equipment to war zones overseas. The C-5 Galaxy, C-130 Hercules, the now-retired C-141 Starlifter, and C-17 Globemaster III have played an important role in shaping the nature of US military mobility in order to provide logistic support for military operations in Southeast Asia, Mesopotamia, and the Hindu Kush. But military transport planes actually have been around in the US since the 1920s. The C-47 derived from the venerable DC-3 airliner became an icon to US troops who fought in WW2, and the C-54 derived from the DC-4 is better notable as the presidential plane used by FDR. E.R. Johnson provides a historical overview of each fixed-wing military transport plane built in the United States since 1925. From the military cargo adaptions of observation and passenger aircraft of the 1920s to the C-17 Globemaster III, from the J2F duck to modern utility planes, American Military Transport Aircraft since 1925 serves as an identification guide for American cargo and utility planes built for nine decades. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,751,978 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #4,387 in Military Aviation History (Books) #13,734 in American Military History #48,404 in Engineering (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars (20) | | Dimensions | 7 x 0.98 x 10 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | ISBN-10 | 0786462698 | | ISBN-13 | 978-0786462698 | | Item Weight | 1.9 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 488 pages | | Publication date | April 23, 2013 | | Publisher | McFarland | | Reading age | 18 years and up | ## Images ![American Military Transport Aircraft Since 1925 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61boG-sJn7L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Outstanding!
