Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 52 pages. library sticker on spine - no other markings, private collector The Martin Model 262 was an unconventional turboprop VTOL aircraft proposal s ubmitted to the US Navy's convoy fighter competition of 1950, which ultimately p roduced the Convair XFY-1 Pogo and Lockheed XFV-1 Salmon. It was a swept-wing ai rcraft with triple vertical tails powered by an Allison XT-40-A-8 turboprop engi ne driving 16 ft contra-rotating propellers. The launch and recovery system cons isted of a hinged vertical platform mounted on a merchant ship; the pilot approa ched the platform from the side and hovered vertically just in front of it, atta ching the aircraft to the platform with a retractable nosegear spike and landing on two small wing gear. The fighter was armed with four 20 mm cannon and was de signed to protect convoy vessels from enemy air attack. In addition to the basic Model 262, Martin also presented Modifications A, B and C, the configurations o f which were even more unorthodox than the main proposal. Finally, the book exam ines the Model 262P, a handsome scale demonstrator designed to verify the basic soundness of the concept. This 52 page publication features 56 illustrations, in cluding detailed schematics, artist's impressions, and speculative color profile s of these remarkable secret aircraft projects. It is printed in color throughou t on heavy paper stock and has a full color glossy cover. This is the publisher' s second book covering the convoy fighter competition, the first one being devot ed to the Goodyear GA-28A/B, which is still available from bookstores worldwide.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 36 pages. library sticker on spine - no other markings, private collector A detailed overview of the Goodyear Aircraft Corporation GA-28A/B, one of the submissions to the US Navy convoy fighter competition of 1950, which ultimately produced the Convair XFY-1 and Lockheed XFV-1 VTOL aircraft. The GA-28A was a t hree-quarter scale prototype of the convoy fighter, while the GA-28B was the ful l scale design armed with four 20 mm cannon. Both were VTOL tailsitters powered by turboprop engines and featured a semi-delta, semi-midwing configuration with triple vertical tail surfaces. The aircraft also had unusual landing gear which permitted either conventional or vertical landing and takeoff. Features 40 illus trations, including detailed schematics, artist's impressions, and speculative c olor profiles of these unorthodox aircraft designs. Color printing throughout, w ith a full color glossy cover.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 48 pages. library sticker on spine - no other markings, private collector The Northrop N-63 was an unconventional VTOL turboprop tailsitter aircraft pr oposal submitted to the US Navy's convoy fighter competition of 1950, which ulti mately produced the Convair XFY-1 Pogo and Lockheed XFV-1 Salmon. It was a singl e-seat high performance fighter designed to protect convoy vessels from attack b y enemy aircraft, and for vertical unassisted takeoff from, and landings on, sma ll platform areas afloat or ashore. The N-63 featured a straight wing with prono unced dihedral and a very large ventral T-tail; armament consisted of four 20 mm cannon mounted in large pods on the wing tips. The aircraft was powered by an A llison XT-40-A-8 turboprop engine driving 15.5 ft six-blade dual-rotation propel lers. The Northrop convoy fighter was designed to land vertically on a robust ce ntral landing strut in a collapsible tailcone as well as small shock absorbers l ocated on the aft ends of the wing pods and vertical stabilizer; these landing s upport points were spread far apart to enhance stability on the deck. In additio n to the N-63, Northrop also submitted the N-63A scale prototype airplane design , a small technology demonstrator powered by an Armstrong Siddeley Double Mamba turboprop. It featured a swappable tail section and auxiliary landing gear which permitted it to take off and land either conventionally or vertically, dependin g on the proficiency of the pilot. This 48 page publication features 66 illustra tions, including detailed schematics, artist's impressions, photos, and speculat ive color profiles of these remarkable secret aircraft projects, which are sure to appeal to historical aviation enthusiasts and scale modelers alike. It is pri nted in color throughout on heavy paper stock and has a full color glossy cover.…

Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. 72 pages. library sticker on spine - no other markings, private collector The second part of a two volume work examining the Lockheed Model L-200 Convo y Fighter of 1950, which led to the XFV-1 Salmon turboprop tailsitter naval airc raft. It was one of five submissions to the US Navy's Convoy Fighter competition , which called for a high performance turboprop VTOL fighter to protect convoy v essels from attack by enemy aircraft. Major subjects include various unusual tak eoff and landing concepts; the L-200-2 stripped full-scale prototype vs. the L-2 00-5 subscale prototype; NACA wind tunnel and flying model tests; the mock-up co nference; and various related studies done for the USAF. This full color 72 page book features 70 images, including rare photos, detailed blueprints, vintage ar tist's impressions, and beautiful color profiles. Part 1 is still available from bookstores worldwide, along with previous volumes on the Convair, Goodyear, Mar tin, and Northrop proposals submitted to the Convoy Fighter Competition of 1950.…

Buch. Zustand: Neu. Neuware - '.an excellent study of the effort involved in deriving the basic idea of what a Service feels it needs to field in order to carry out a mission and then how industry attempts to translate those ideas into hardware that can perform in the real world.' --The Journal of the Air Force Historical FoundationThe Soviet Union's first successful atomic bomb detonation in August 1949 was a wakeup call for US Navy planners. The possibility of a single Soviet aircraft wiping out an entire convoy of merchant ships with a nuclear weapon had suddenly become very real. With military budgets having shrunk prior to the Korean War, it was simply not possible to provide a US Navy escort for every convoy. But what if those vessels could be provided with an effective means of self-defence - an aircraft able to function as both a helicopter and a fighter, launching from and landing on the small deck of a Liberty Ship It was a risky concept but aviation technology was now advancing at an unprecedented pace and the American aircraft manufacturers were ready to meet the challenge head on.The result was the US Navy's Convoy Fighter competition of November 1950 - a contest to produce a turboprop-powered 'tailsitter' single-seat aircraft able to operate from a largely unmodified merchant vessel. A host of designs were submitted by the likes of Convair, Lockheed, Martin and Northrop, among them some of the strangest and most outlandish concept aircraft ever committed to paper. And two were actually built in prototype form: the Convair XFY-1 'Pogo' and the Lockheed XFV-1.In American Interceptor: US Navy Convoy Fighter Projects, author and illustrator Jared A. Zichek focuses on the 'paper projects', the unbuilt studies submitted to the Navy. Lavishly illustrated throughout, the book showcases these fascinating artifacts of what might have been, from a golden age of aerospace history unlikely to be equalled or exceeded.…
