The Boeing C-135 Series: : Stratotanker, Stratolifter and other Variants

Though the C-135 was originally designed over forty years ago as an aerial refueling tanker, (749 of the 820 were built as tankers), more than 600 of all types of C-135s are still flying. Boeing's C-135 series has been the most successful military jet ever built.

This book, Don Logan's sixth, tells the story of the Boeing C-135 series including: tankers, reconnaissance, airborne command post, weather, test, and special purpose models. All C-135 aircraft types, along with their operating units are covered.
Tables and serial number lists are included listing all C-135 configurations by serial number. Re-engine programs and facts including serial numbers of the C-135s and the identity of the donor aircraft in the airline re-engine program (E-model types). Also included: a listing of all C-135 losses, including date and reason for loss; three views of C-135 major configurations; selected aircraft nose art; and all USAF, ARFES, and Air National Guard unit markings.

Boeing E-3 AWACS

The Boeing E3-A "Sentry" with its unmistakable silhouette is "the" AWACS aircraft par excellence (AWACS = Airborne Warning And Control System - flying early warning and command post).

The aircraft with the distinctive radome on its back has been serving the role of high-performance reconnaissance aircraft and flying command center since the late 1970s. Even major events, such as football matches, are monitored from a height of 12 000 m in times of increased terrorist threat.
