Aero Research has released part three of their fire tanker
photo reference CD. These are mostly WWII aircraft that have
been converted from droping bombs to droping a special fire
retardant.
Once again I used my image browser to scan through the
aircraft on the disc and I was quite impressed with the selection
of aircraft. In this release, they have provided at least one
example of typical fire tankers used in North America as well
as the spotter aircraft that direct the tankers' attack patterns.
As with the previous releases, many of these images are provided
at 4000 pixels wide. All of the photos are color and all are
out of various collections. Some were taken while the aircraft
were in service.
So what kind of aircraft
will you find on the disc?
- A-26 Intruder
- AF-2 Guardian
- AJ Savage
- B-17 Flying Fortress
- B-25 Mitchell
- Bell 47
- C-119 Flying Boxcar
- C-123 Provider
- CL-215
- DC-4
- DC-6
- DC-7
- DHC-3
- DHC-6
- F7F Tigercat
- HH-43 Huskie
- JRM Mars
- OV-10 Bronco
- P-2 Neptune
- P-3 Orion
- PB4Y Privateer
- PBY Catalina
- PV-2 Harpoon
- S-2 Tracker
- S-55T
- S-64
- TBM Avenger
For the modeler, you'll see lots of good details and color information
for tackling that next tanker conversion project.
This is a 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
(AeroResearch@Charter.net) or calling them at 775.746.8615. They gladly accept Visa, Mastercard,
and Discover.
My sincere thanks to Aero Research for this review sample!
