Measuring up to five stories in height and equaling a football field in length, these incredible aircraft are nonetheless capable of short-field landings on unpaved airstrips, unloading enormous payloads in minutes, and blasting off in steep climbs. This full-color review of the largest aircraft in the skies includes action photos and brief histories. The authors also explain how militaries utilize the remarkable size and capabilities of these planes.

The end of the Cold War created a golden opportunity for reducing the defense burden and providing taxpayers with a ""Peace Dividend."" For the United States Air Force, this resulted over the past six years in drastic reductions: 23% in aircraft inventory, 30% in personnel, and 32% in the number of bases and other major installations. Well-known and long-serving aircraft, such as the A-7D/K, the B-52G, the F-4C/D/E, the F-111A/D, the FB-111A and the SR-71, have been withdrawn from active and reserve components, and some states, such as California, have lost nearly half of their Air Force bases.Illustrated with over 410 color photos, this new book provides a rich pictorial record of aircraft (including old and new markings) and units which no longer exist, and offers a visual chronicle of organizational changes between 1988-1995.

Jim Dunn's poetry aspires to hold that echo in collaged colliding verse that evokes lost ghosts and living moments. In the span of a mere twenty poems in thirty pages, Dunn spins a kaliedescopic swirl of word, memory, and vision. From the opening lines of the first poem, "Ships I've Gone Down With," to the last lines of the final poem, " The Only Defense Is A Lonely Picket Fence," Dunn weaves , economical, and spontaneous verse that is rooted in the geograhical location of Boston while reaching out skyward to include the voices and invocations of some of his greatest influences and friends- Robert Creeley, Gerrit Lansing, and John Wieners. Wieners' quite particularly inhabits the haunted hallways of Dunn's vision as blended voice, melding Dunn's memory with Wiener's unique off-handed whispered truths. In "The Mole Proposes Solitude," Dunn uses the title from a Wieners poem along with a quote from Robert Duncan to evoke in beautiful terms the rare and special elegance of walking the streets of Boston with it's neglected secret patron saint of the forgotten and deprived on the bohemian side of Beacon Hill.There is a lot going on in these poems and many people revolve in and out of Dunn's pantheon. This swirl of images, voices, and memories are imbued with a humanity and regard for the pureness of momentary grace that make this collection of poems a blanket of past comforts and a quilt of future friendship.

This fascinating story begins with post-World War Two sales of surplus Mustangs to various foreign governments and a few civilian customers. More than a decade later, in 1957 and 1958, the US Air Force auctioned off its remaining inventory of P-51s. These Mustangs became high-speed executive transports in the days before the introduction of the LearJet and other corporate aircraft. Soon after, in the mid-1960s and early 1970s, as the warbird movement was gaining traction, many of the remaining Mustangs came onto the civilian market. Today, these warbirds are the stars of airshows around the world. The effort to restore them to as close to their original wartime condition as possible has reached new levels of authenticity. With over 140 images, accompanied by service histories, this book shows the fighters where they should be seen – in the air.

In Very Public and Private Relations, Jim Dunn takes us on a rollicking ride from poor boy growing up in a small town on the west coast of Scotland to the five-star lifestyle of a pioneer in travel PR. Along the way he tells us about his life as mommy's boy and his forbidden gay encounters on the "Love Train" home from Glasgow. Jim readily admits that he couldn't type, write or understand one end of PR from the other when he started, but that didn't stop him from creating the UK's leading travel and leisure PR consultancy over the next thirty years. This book is a tour de force account of Jim's life and work and is a fascinating insight into how the travel business matured into the multi-billion dollar industry we know today--from British Benidorm to Hong Kong, the Bahamas and beyond.
