Introduction
Description
Giant airlifters are an impressive sight indeed. Cumbersome though they appear, these huge aircraft are able to avoid ground fire by approaching airfields at very steep angles, perform short-field landings using maximum braking and reverse thrust on all engines, unload enormous payloads in a matter of minutes, and then blast out of airfields with short-field takeoffs and steep climbs. Includes 80 action photographs accompanied by a brief history, how and why governments use these gargantuan cargo planes, and the details of their impressive capabilities.
80 colour illustrations. Paperback. 96pp
