Описание: Created by famed Lockheed designer Kelly Johnson, the F-104 Starfighter was designed to compete with Soviet Mig-15s. Equipped with a huge and powerful J79 engine, the aircraft could reach speeds well in excess of Mach 2.0, while its thin, trapezoidal wing provided extremely low drag with terrific acceleration and rate of climb. Unforgiving and sensitive to control inputs, the F-104 killed many pilots and developed a reputation as a "widow-maker". Despite its shortcomings, the Starfighter enjoyed a long career. It flew in the air support role during "Rolling Thunder" in the Vietnam War. It also saw extensive service in foreign air forces and NATO. NASA continued to use the F-104 as a support aircraft until 1995. This pilot's flight operating handbook was originally produced by the USAF. It has been slightly reformatted but is reproduced here in its entirety. It provides a fascinating view inside the cockpit of one of history's great planes.

Описание: The USAF's first jet-powered bomber capable of reaching Mach 2.0, the Convair B-58 Hustler carried a crew of three and a nuclear payload. A complex aircraft, the B-58 suffered teething problems during development and became infamous for its maintenance requirements. It also compiled a dubious safety record: out of 116 Hustlers, 26 were lost in accidents. Nevertheless, the B-58's career spanned nearly a decade between 1960-70. It might have continued even longer, but Secretary of Defense Robert McNamara believed the aircraft, which was designed for high-speed, high-altitude tactical approach, was vulnerable to air-to-air missile attack. Its replacement the F-111A Aardvark would be designed to perform a low approach attack. Originally printed by the U.S. Air Force, this B-58A flight operating manual taught pilots everything they needed to know before entering the cockpit. Originally classified "Restricted", this manual was declassified long ago and is here reprinted in book form.

As the granddughter of a slave growing up during the 1920's and 1930's, Jane Cotton was challenged by both experiences and societal, and even religious, expectations that often made her think of giving up on developing her intellect and striving to pursue the paths that would lead her to the kind of work that she felt called to do. At age 92, she recounts what it was like growing up and then becoming a military leader.
At the time, social mores and some religious teachings indicated it was not suitable or proper for women to be in positions where they had any power and authority, and this was especially evident in positions where women would be supervising men and even more evident when those positions involved women of color. Determination is the remarkable story of a black woman growing up in the first half of the 20th century and then going on to becoma a Lt. Colonel in the United States Air Force from 1949 - 1970. Rich in detail, the book paints an important picture of life during those times as well as teaching all of us what true determination can lead to.
Despite pressures, something deep inside her told her that she was created a whole being with the potential to become a responsible, educated, and independent person. Her story, punctuated with her poems and photos, will inspire young people and particularly young girls to have the determination to develop physically and intellectually to reach their full potential and become good citizens who take pride in themselves and their accomplishments. Jane Cotton shares this piece of wisdom -- when all persons, regardless of race, sex, or circumstances of birth, are encouraged and presented with opportunities to develop so they realize their abilities, the world becomes a better place.
