Book Description

Series: Aircraft of the United States' | Publication Date: August 1, 1999

Formed at the start of the 'Cold War' era, the Military Air Transport Service sprung out of the newly-created USAF to serve the US Military around the world. From the Berlin Airlift to Vietnam, MATS crews and aircraft were found in every global 'hot spot'. This book not only provides the history of the Service, it also delivers an in-depth look at each type of aircraft MATS operated. From the C-47 to the C-133, the OA-10 to the U-2, this superb volume contains a dynamic collection of high quality, large format photographs of MATS global air power.

I am totaly impressed with this book. I have read hundreds of books on aviation and usually I can find a fault or two. This book, after reading about 3/4ths of it has none. It is easy to read, well layed out, and very thoughtful. It is a "must have" if one is an aviation buff.
