270691 - NORTH AMERICAN T-6 HARVARD/TEXAN: Classic Trainer Aircraft for Air Forces Around the World (Classic Aircraft In Detail 002)

By Duke Hawkins

Taken from the Publishers Website:-

Thousands of pilots have learned how to fly at the controls of the North American T-6 Texan/Harvard.

That alone would be a great reason to make a book on this aircraft. Today, for many aircraft enthusiasts, the T-6 is an accessible aircraft to fly or have a flight in. Quite a few of the type are still in airworthy condition and we for this book, we had a really close look at many of them.

There are many different types of the T-6 and in this book, we will try to show you what they are. The photos were taken from many different aircraft, all in airworthy conditions, with special attention given to those in an original state. No detail of the aircraft is overlooked: the entire fuselage, wings, vertical tail, canopy, engine: everything is included in this book !

This book has over 280 photos in 116 pages. On the ground, in the air, in the maintenance hangar, we photographed the T-6 everywhere we could! With this book, we will support the Dutch Royal Air Force Historic Flight. A huge chapter on the maintenance of the T-6 is included in this book. With the fuselage panels removed, no detail is missing! Ideal for the aircraft enthusiasts and scale modelers.

We’ve had a ton of fun making this newest book in our series. Of course we include a close-up of the Pratt & Whitney Wasp engine, as well a very close look at the cockpit of the Harvard/Texan, both the front seat as the back seat !

Volume 1 in this new Classic Aircraft series focuses on - Supermarine Spitfire Mk.IX & Mk.XVI

This new series starts with the legendary Supermarine Spitfire, more specifically the Mk.IX and Mk.XVI. Of these types, 39 are currently in airworthy condition. In this 116 page book, over 30 of them are included!

The differences between the types are all shown in this book, even the Electronic warfare version, the C-160G Gabrile, in service with the Armée de l’Air is included, even though only two of them were ever built. More than 250 photos show the Transall in detail and some surprising dynamic action!  With over 280 photos !

As with all the books, the aircraft in this new “Classic Series” will be shown both in action and in detail. The latter includes the entire fuselage, wings, vertical tail and of course the cockpit.  There are quite a few subtypes for this version of the Spitfire and of course, we will put the spotlight on the differences between them.  The action pages include some stunning, never before published air-to-air photographs.  Both the high back and low back Spitfires are included.

We show the different wing variants; c-wing, e-wing and clipped wings. As always, a huge maintenance chapter is included in the first book of our newest series!

The Spitfire Mk.IX was such a successful aircraft due to the upgraded Merlin engine with which it was equipped. Both this engine and the Packard built Merlin used in the Spitfire Mk.XVI are shown in detail!
