Aero Research is back with a new series in their growing
line-up of great offerings. This new photo CD features a random
sampling of USN-USMC aircraft photos that were taken anywhere
between the 1950s to present. None of these photos are from
the government photo archives, these are all compiled from
the same excellent range of professional (or very skilled)
aviation photographers. Most importantly, all of these photos
are of aircraft still in service, no derelicts, boneyard storage,
or museum pieces. Many of them were photographed in various
theaters around the world.
This first installment in the series is USN-USMC Collection
#1, which means that you'll get an interesting variety of operational
aircraft from US Navy and Marine Corps service. The subjects
included in this collection include:
- A-1 Skyraider
- A-3 Skywarrior
- A-4 Skyhawk

For the tail spotter, you'll see these aircraft from a variety
of time periods to that you'll get representative configurations
of the airframe during different phases of its operational
life. You'll also be able to see the aircraft in a variety
of color schemes. For the
modeler, you'll see lots of good details and color information
for tackling that next project.
This is another nice selection of imagery that you won't find
available in such clarity and size. This title is recommended!
You can purchase this reference or any of their other photo
CDs directly from this publisher via email
