60 Years Of Combat Aircraft
With the 400 profiles and illustrations contained in this book, Bruno Pautigny, the world famous illustrator, paints the technical portraits of the most famous fighters and bombers of all the great conflicts of the previous century: First and Second World Wars, Indochina, Korea and Suez, Algeria, Vietnam, etc.
Corsair
The Corsair no doubt appears at the top of the list of mythical aircraft which have left their mark on aviation history. As I am more particularly an illustrator, I have given priority to the illustrations and iconography, followed by explanations which are deliberately concise but as rigorous as possible. The aim was to tell the thirty year story of the Corsair's extraordinary career from its baptism of fire in the Pacific to African skies, passing through the Far-East and a less martial but nonetheless virile interlude in the colorful and exhilarating world of the Pylon Races. This book, which is actually the reissue, substantially increased of the previous edition published in 2003 and now out of print, does not claim to be exhaustive and is destined as much to the enlightened amateur as to the neophyte, in whom perhaps will appear a new love for the fabulous Bent wing Bird.
Corsair
Le Corsair figure sans nul doute en tête de liste des appareils mythiques qui ont marqué l'histoire de l'aéronautique militaire. L'auteur, illustrateur avant tout, a bien entendu donné la priorité à l'illustration et à l'iconographie, en les accompagnant d'informations volontairement concises mais les plus rigoureuses possible. L'objectif étant, par ailleurs, de narrer en un seul volume les trente années de l'extraordinaire carrière du Corsair, depuis son baptême du feu dans le Pacifique jusqu'aux cieux africains, en passant par l'Extrême-Orient et par un intermède moins martial, mais tout aussi viril, au sein de l'univers coloré et grisant des courses de pylônes. Cet ouvrage, qui est une réédition améliorée du précédent paru en 2003 et aujourd'hui épuisé, s'adresse aussi bien à l'amateur éclairé qu'au néophyte, chez qui une nouvelle passion naîtra peut-être pour ce fabuleux oiseau bleu aux ailes tordues.
F4U Corsair
Text in French Built more than 12,000 times in six versions, used by some into the 1970s, the emblematic aircraft of the Pacific War, and star of the small screen, the Vought F4U Corsair is undoubtedly one of the most famous in the history of Aviation. Immediately recognizable by its "Seagull wings" - configuration imposed by its very large diameter propeller - the Corsair, after a difficult start, was one of the architects of success for American naval aviation during the Second World War. It won the nickname of "Whistling Death", due to the noise generated by its engine and canopy during attacks. In the absence of an available and effective successor, it valiantly resumed service during th...
The Corsair 1940-1970
A complete illustrated history of one of the most successful aircraft types to emerge from World War 2. The Vought F4U-Corsair, a real monster of a plane, was used throughout the war and was still in service at the time of the Korean War. Bruno Pautigny is an expert aircraft illustrator and one of the key figures behind Histoire & Collections highly successful magazine, Wingmasters. This will be a dream book for anyone with an interest in this aircraft
P-39 Airacobra
The P-39 Airacobra was the first fighter in the world to have a tricycle undercarriage and to have the engine mounted mid-fuselage behind the pilot. It had rather a troubled beginning because it had been designed as a fighter for the western European theater of operations where it turned out to be completely unsuitable for the role. Its hours of glory were in the Pacific where it was sent in an emergency to counter the Japanese advance, or in the hands of its Russian pilots, the USSR alone receiving almost half of those produced under Lend-Lease. The P- 63 Kingcobra, the last avatar of the controversial Airacobra family, with different wings and engine wasn't any more successful in the United States, and two thirds of the machines produced up until 1945 were also assigned to the Soviet Union. 300 examples were supplied to France which used them for its operations in Indochina at the beginning of the fifties.
