"I enjoyed this book as it examines the man as well as the technology. The author has immersed himself in his subject and the result is a most interesting and valuable study." Read the full review [link=https://flyinginireland.com/2025/01/book-review-sir-frank-whittle/]here[/link]
Flying in Ireland

"In the early 1950s it was not unusual to see the high altitude contrails of USAF B-36s over England. 385 were built and, commonly dubbed "Six Turning, Four Burning" thanks to its six piston and four jet engines. The development of the B-36 is fully described and there is considerable coverage of the political issues including competition from the Northrop flying wing. We see the B-36 into services with SAC, and we well remember al those contrails over Britain in the 1950s as the B-36s flew over. This is a readable history..."

"Colin's book is an excellent collection of individual stories, and histories of the club's they qualified for, and I highly recommend it..."
Goldfish Club Newsletter - Winter 2024

Well illustrated throughout with plenty of excellent colour photographs of all sorts of Hercules variants, in use by many operators around the world. From the drab greys of many modern examples, to the bright colours of 'Fat Albert', famously used to support the Blue Angels display team. The C-130 is one of only a very small number of types to remain in service with US forces for over 50 years, and there is no immediate end in sight for it just yet. With such an incredible story, I feel that author Ben has done a really good job of fitting it all in to the constraints of this book series, and the models I am sure will inspire plenty of modellers to build their own examples.
