Descripción general del libro

In the 1990s, the author oversaw development of two of the Pentagon's most advanced UAVs. As he looked at the history of unmanned planes, he noticed that each time a conflict broke out, well-intentioned American engineers would get to work on the latest unmanned concepts all but blind to the work of those who came before them. In this book, Newcome chronicles the long history of unmanned aircraft in hopes of ending the cycle of duplicative efforts. If this brief history can help prevent such reinventions of the wheel within unmanned aviation endeavors in the future, then it will have served its purpose, Newcome writes. Newcome traces the family tree of unmanned aircraft all the way back to their roots as aerial torpedoes, which were the equivalent of today's cruise missiles. He discusses the work of leading aerospace pioneers whose efforts in the area of unmanned aviation have largely been ignored by history. The book chronicles the use of unmanned aircraft in times and places where you might not expect them, such as during the Cold War, in Vietnam, and in Israel. Details on the overall trend in UAV design--for instance the recent transition from remotely-piloted planes to the ques

    Larry was a friend and co-worker before he passed away. Outstanding history of an area of aviation that has changed the current definition of air warfare today.

    Although the book has a title which claims general history of UAVs, it mainly mentions UAVs of USA. It covers Israel and some Italian UAVS, but it does not cover ony of the UAVs of the USSR.

    The book has a bibliography and it refers to the information sources in the text. So it has some flavour of academic style. It also has an index at the end.

    The book gives information about "what is an UAV and what is not". The performance figures for the UAVS of post WWI era is especially interesting. It also makes a survey of UAV sector at the time of writing (2004).

    The pictures and graphics included in the book could be improved, at least there could be a picture of every UAV mentioned in the text.

    The book is easy to read and certainly contains information valuable to the interested reader.
