Piper Cub, l'avion passion Piper Cub, l'avion passion, André Bréand

Piper Cub, l’avion passion, André Bréand

Avion passion, le Piper Cub symbolise toujours l’avion école et de pilotage de plaisance idéal. Pour le commun des mortels, le nom de « Cub » fait depuis longtemps partie du langage courant et signifie pour les non-initiés « avion de club ». N’entendons-nous pas d’ailleurs souvent prononcer le nom de Piper « Club » ?…

De sa conception à sa descendance, en passant par les heures sombres du second conflit mondial, c’est un regard complet qui est porté sur cet avion et ses dérivés. Illustré de nombreuses photographies et plans trois vues, ce livre répond également aux attentes des maquettistes.

Technicien de l’industrie aérospatiale, journaliste aéronautique et pilote de Piper Cub, André Bréand offre avec cette étude complète et détaillée le premier ouvrage historique en langue française sur le Cub, ses ancêtres et ses dérivés.

Lightplanes at war, Kenneth Wakefield

Lightplanes at War: U.S. Liaison Aircraft in Europe, 1947-47, Ken Wakefield

A great book on the seldom-told story of WWII liaison aircraft, known affectionately as “L-Birds” to military personnel. Along with an historical background explaining the multiple roles of these aircraft, you also get complete specifications for the most significant models including the Stinson L-1 and L-5, the Taylorcraft L-2 Grasshopper, the Aeronca L-3, the Piper L-4 and more… all the way up to the L-12. Carrier operations and unit histories are also included.

 

The Other Ninth Air Force: Ninth US Army Light Aircraft Operations in Europe 1944-45 Ken Wakefield

This book covers in detail the operations conducted by the light artillery aircraft of the Ninth US Army during the Second World War. It is a revealing and interesting insight into events of the time as recorded by an Artillery Air Officer in his daily journal.
The most comprehensive source to find an aircraft’s history, when you know her USAAF serial number.

The Fighting Grasshoppers

The Fighting Grasshoppers: US Liaison Aircraft Operations in Europe, 1942-1945, Ken Wakefield

A great book on the seldom-told story of WWII liaison aircraft, known affectionately as “L-Birds” to military personnel.
Along with an historical background explaining the multiple roles of these aircraft, you also get complete specifications for the most significant models including the Stinson L-1 and L-5, the Taylorcraft L-2 Grasshopper, the Aeronca L-3, the Piper L-4 and more… all the way up to the L-12.
Carrier operations and unit histories are also included.
One of the best books on the subject.

Box Seat Over Hell, Hardy D. Cannon with research by Bill straton

L-Birds, American Combat Liaison Aircraft of World War II, Terry M. Love

A book on the seldom-told story of WWII liaison aircraft, known affectionately as “L-Birds” to military personnel.

Mostly interesting for a rich photo collection.
