Boeing 737 en P-8 Poseidon: boeken - historie en modellen

Boeing 737 - 100 and 200

NIEUW

De Boeing 737 werd ontwikkeld als een kleiner alternatief voor de 707 en 727, ontworpen voor kortere routes met minder passagiers. Hij vloog voor het eerst in 1967 en werd commercieel ingezet bij Lufthansa als de 737-100. Een grote bestelling van United Airlines leidde tot de iets grotere 737-200, die het standaardmodel werd. Hoewel de eerste verkopen traag verliepen, bleken de 737-100 en -200 zeer succesvol en legden ze de basis voor de huidige 737-familie, waaronder de moderne 737 MAX.
Tegen de tijd dat de productie van de 737-200 in 1988 eindigde, waren er meer dan 1.000 gebouwd, waaronder militaire en vrachtversies. Hoewel de meeste zijn afgedankt, opereren sommige nog steeds in afgelegen gebieden van Canada en ontwikkelingslanden.

Met meer dan 150 afbeeldingen beschrijft dit boek de geschiedenis van de Boeing 737-100 en -200 en de vele luchtvaartmaatschappijen en operators die ze wereldwijd hebben gebruikt.

Boeing 737 (Legends of Flight)

The Boeing 737 is undoubtedly one of the best known of all passenger aircraft and has been built in greater numbers than any other commercial aircraft in the world. There are few airline passengers of the last decade who have not yet flown on one of these aircraft. More than 10,000 examples have been built in all its variants-an unbelievably high number for an airliner.

This book describes the aircraft's early development-from the first concept drawings in the early 1960s to construction, testing, and first flights-to the present, with exciting photos, drawings, and information from the Boeing company archives. From the 737-100 through to today's 737MAX, all versions are covered in detail, including its use by many of the world's airlines, including Air France, British Airways, Delta, Easyjet, Lufthansa, SAS, Southwest, and many others.

Boeing 737 : The Worlds Jetliner

First launched in 1965, the Boeing 737, by many measures, is the most successful and long-standing jetliner in the history of aviation. This volume provides an in-depth look into the story of this extremely significant jetliner and the environment that has contributed to this amazing story.
Many of the actual people who designed, marketed, and flew this airplane have contributed greatly to this book, with widespread quotes throughout.

This study is rich with many photographs and drawings that are published for the first time and take the reader deeper into the story. Included in this book is a technical chapter that defines the systems and provides a detailed pilots walk-around.
For the hobbyist, a well detailed, pictorial chapter demonstrates the building of airliner models, and provides many techniques for new and experienced modelers alike.

P-8A Poseidon: The US Navy's Newest Maritime Patrol and Antisubmarine Aircraft (Legends of Warfare)

The P-8A Poseidon, a variant of the Boeing 737 series of airliner, takes over the role of antisubmarine warfare from the P-3 Orion, itself a derivative of an airliner, the Lockheed Electra. The P-8A brings new capabilities, endurance, and crew enhancements to the art form of maritime patrol, surveillance, and reconnaissance. The Poseidon also brings with it weapons such as antiship missiles, mines, torpedoes, and bombs.
It can lay down sonobuoys to detect, track, and attack submarines that are quieter, deeper diving, and more stealthy than ever before. The ability to perform search and rescue, assist stranded victims of an incident at sea, and coordinate rescue efforts is unparalleled. The P-8A can connect to tactical networks to relay data it collects, or it can receive information and play a part in a larger operation involving several platforms, from surface ships to aircraft and ground facilities.

This book, part of the Legends of Warfare series, describes the development, features and use of this American maritime patrol and antisubmarine aircraft.

Boeing B-737

This monograph came into being with the intention of celebrating an aircraft that has earned its right to a place in the history of commercial aviation. The enormous potential and quality of the project for the Boeing 737 launched by the American manufacturer in 1964 was immediately apparent when it began its service with Lufthansa in 1968, who was the first customer to use the 100 version.
With the passing of the years more and more companies have chosen this plane inserting it in their fleets, convinced as they are of its excellent performance that guaranteed and still today guarantees excellent profits.

The modeling notes proposed at the end of this publication will guide collectors and model makers to the creation of two aircraft of the 800 series in 1: 200 scale, in detail one in JAL Express livery and one in the colors of the Italian company Meridiana. Let's discover together the birth, the exceptional success, the use and the goals achieved by the B-737 family.
