USN Aircraft 1922-1962: Type designation letter 'A' Part Two - Paperback

by Phil H. Listemann (Author)

A pictorial study of the USN aircraft between 1922 and 1962. Over forty years, between 1922 and 1962, the USN and USMC used a designation system which began with biplanes and ended with jets, having been used through two major wars, WW2 and the Korean War. This system remained largely the same during that time, though it evolved with the introduction of new types and technology, and new exceptions developed as well. The purpose of this series is to explain this system using photographs. This volume contains 120 photos, many in color. This volume covers the A2D Skyshark, A3D Skywarrior, A4D Skyhawk, AF Guardian and A2F Intruder versions prior to 1962.
