3.0 out of 5 stars
Outdated book on C-130,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: C-130 Hercules in action - Aircraft No. 47 (Paperback)
This book was published in 1981, which makes it 29 years old. That's the reason for 3 stars. It's great coverage on the infamous C-130 "Herc" which was first flown in 1955. There's just a lot of this plane's history that has happened since.
It is a real tribute to the designers of Lockheed that this plane in still in active service as of 2010 and will be for a long time to come. Many versions have served as cargo haulers, gunships, troop transport in peace and at war, the Navy, Air Force, Coast Guard of many nations use this versatile and reliable airplane. 56 pages, 2 of them color drawings, lots of clear black and white photos, line drawings, charts, statistics make this an excellent buy for a modeler or aviation buff - as long as you understand that the Gulf wars, Grenada, Panama Wars are not included here. Even that's ok - most of the improvements over the years have been to the avionics, engines and not so visible to the average person |
