Aviones militares (desde 1945): libros - historia y modelos

Patrouilles Acrobatiques du Monde

All the world's major air forces are represented by their military stunt team. The first major teams appeared in the West, during the Cold War. Since then, in a "multipolar" world, all emerging powers have also had their team, which has become famous. In flight, they are a mirror of military traditions and aeronautical know-how specific to their country.

In 2017, twenty very colorful stunt team share the sky and the podiums of meetings, with brilliance and smoke. François Brévot photographed them on five continents. He presents them, all in action, in close-ups, from all angles, and under the most spectacular lighting.

This album is the first book to bring together, in French, all these major military stunt teams from France, the United Kingdom, Italy, Spain, Switzerland, Croatia, Poland, the United States, Canada, Russia, China, South Korea, Singapore, the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and India.

Fighter Aircraft Since 1945 (Fact File)

Chronologic overview of all fighter aircraft, used since 1945. By the mid-1950s their speed had already reached double that of the speed of sound; an achievement which a few years earlier, would have sounded to many like science fiction.

Per type this book features a photo, a description and technical data.

English edition of the German Typenkompass book "Jagdflugzeuge - seit 1945".

Vertical Take-off Fighter Aircraft

In the late 1930s, engineers and designers began to consider combat aircraft with a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capability. From a military viewpoint, the advantages were always obvious and a VTOL fighter could operated from improvised land sites, various ships or perhaps even submarines.
Nevertheless, there have always been huge technical challenges, with many concepts failing to progress beyond the drawing board. This partly explains why the only VTOL fighter to reach operational service has been the British Harrier.

In this extensively illustrated and highly detailed book, the author describes many often obscure VTOL fighter projects, along with related vertical take-off (VTO) interceptors and rocket assisted, zero length launch (ZEL) conventional fighters.
Obviously, no book on this subject would be complete without the inclusion of the Harrier and the US-UK F-35C replacement, which will be stealthy, fast and very expensive. This version of the advanced fifth-generation fighter has been selected by the US Marine Corps and will be used by the Royal Navy, when its two new aircraft carriers enter service.

Aufklärer - seit 1945 (Typenkompass)

Reconnaissance aircraft have always been the spearhead of the various air forces, as they create the basis for all other military operations.
During the Cold War and before the satellite era, reconnaissance aircraft experienced their absolute heyday, as the opposing blocs needed to know what was happening on the other side, and correspondingly powerful aircraft were developed during this time, which achieved previously unknown performance in terms of operational altitude, speed and flight duration.

Each type is presented with a photo, a historical description and a technical sheet.

Drohnen - Unbemannte Krieger der Lüfte

In recent years, drones have become massively popular in the military: they are no longer just unarmed training targets, but are also used for surveillance tasks and in offensive roles.
Today's fighter pilot can drive to the base in the morning, complete a drone mission from there and be back home after work.

This book provides a complete overview of all drones from their beginnings to the present day. More than 40 types are presented, ranging from aircraft the size of shoeboxes to machines that are almost the size of passenger jets.

Mehrzweckkampfflugzeuge - Weltweit

Multi-role combat aircraft can be used universally and are not restricted to one role. It is not for nothing that they are considered the most powerful combat aircraft of all: air defense, attack role, reconnaissance or electronic warfare - they can take on practically any opponent and are now the benchmark in almost all air forces.
Equipped with an impressive arsenal of weapons, they also have the most modern reconnaissance equipment.

In his usual expert manner, Heiko Thiesler presents this aircraft category with rare, partly unpublished photos, data, three-view drawings and color profiles.

Trainer - Turboprops und Jets seit 1945 (Typenkompass)

Although perhaps not as well-known and prominent in terms of subject matter, turboprop and jet trainers are indispensable in military aviation and military pilot training. They are essential for the "transition" from slow beginner training aircraft to the mostly supersonic jets.
It is not without reason that the cockpits of the "trainers" are almost 1: 1 replicas of the cockpits of combat aircraft, so that student pilots learn early on what they will face in the future. The training machines are absolute high-performance aircraft and are often used in other areas in addition to their main purpose, such as close air support.

Each type is presented in this book with a photo, a historical description and a technical data sheet.
