Supermarine Rolls-Royce S6B Owners' Workshop Manual by Ralph Pegram Pdf

On 13 September 1931 the Schneider Trophy was won outright for Britain on Southampton Water by Flt Lt John Boothman flying Supermarine S6B, S1595, with a record-breaking average speed of 379.08mph. In Supermarine Rolls-Royce S6B Owners' Workshop Manual, Ralph Pegram relates the story of the Schneider Trophy competitions and describes the development of British high-speed seaplane designs. He examines the anatomy of the S6B (including the Rolls-Royce R engine), as well as giving rare insights into its flying characteristics and how it was maintained, operated and – of course – raced in the final competition.

Sir Henry Royce by Peter Reese Pdf

It's hard to imagine a history of British engineering without Rolls-Royce: there would be no Silver Ghost, no Merlin for the Spitfire, no Alcock and Brown. Rolls-Royce is one of the most recognisable brands in the world. But what of the man who designed them? The youngest of five children, Frederick Henry Royce was born into almost Dickensian circumstances: the family business failed by the time he was 4, his father died in a Greenwich poorhouse when he was 9, and he only managed two fragmented years of formal schooling. But he made all of it count. In Sir Henry Royce: Establishing Rolls-Royce, from Motor Cars to Aero Engines, acclaimed aeronautical historian Peter Reese explores the life of an almost forgotten genius, from his humble beginnings to his greatest achievements. Impeccably researched and featuring almost 100 illustrations, this is the remarkable story of British success on a global stage.

Handley Page Halifax by Jonathan Falconer Pdf

The Halifax became the second of the new generation of four-engine heavy bombers to enter service with RAF Bomber Command in the Second World War. It flew its first offensive operation in March 1941 and by 1944 it had become the exclusive equipment for Bomber Command's 4 Group and 6 (Canadian) Group, as well as being used in smaller numbers by 100 (Bomber Support) Group. The Halifax flew on virtually all the main raids of the night offensive between 1942 and 1945 and the last occasion when Bomber Command Halifaxes operated in strength against the enemy was on 25 April 1945.

Convair B-36 Peacemaker Owners' Workshop Manual by David Baker Pdf

With six powerful 2,500hp Pratt & Whitney radial engines, the B-36 was the largest aircraft ever to enter volume production, joining the US Air Force in 1948 as the world’s first operational bomber with hemispheric range. Two years later the type got an additional four engines, turbojets paired in pods attached to pylons outboard of the six propeller engines.At 230 ft (70.1m) it boasted the longest wingspan of any combat aircraft ever built. Thus did the ten-engine behemoth, capable of carrying five times the standard bomb load of Britain’s Second World War Avro Lancaster, become the powerful tool for potential nuclear retaliation against aggressors anywhere on Earth. Ranging across Soviet skies high above the maximum altitude of Russian fighters, it threatened a reign of fire unchallenged by any other air arm in the world. The B-36 was developed further into a powerful tool for photographic reconnaissance and served as a valuable means by which the US Air Force could obtain detailed maps of areas across the Soviet Union where little was known about the exact location of towns, cities and industrial facilities - potential key targets in time of war. The B-36 scored as the most powerful delivery system in the US arsenal for waging nuclear war, only being retired when the much faster Boeing B-52 came along and when intercontinental ballistic missiles were first deployed at the end of the 1950s. The Convair B-36 Peacemaker Owners' Workshop Manual brings to the reader a highly detailed design, technical and engineering description of the aircraft, its structure and systems across the several different variants deployed with the US Air Force Strategic Air Command. Author David Baker covers the origin and evolution of the B-36, but primarily he explains how the aircraft worked, how it was operated, how it was serviced and where the various items of equipment were installed. It also provides technical details of the variants produced, including information on dimensions, weight, performance, etc, and also on the units with which the aircraft served. The text is supported by more than 300 photographs and illustrations.

Fairey Swordfish 1934 to 1945 (all marks) by Jim Humberstone Pdf

The centrepiece of this manual is Swordfish Mk II, LS326, operated by the Royal Navy Historic Flight from RNAS Yeovilton. The author and Haynes have been given unique access to this rare aircraft, which is one of only two airworthy examples in the world.

Royal Aircraft Factory S.E.5 by Nick Garton Pdf

This rakish fighter became known as the 'mount of aces', being the type on which the most successful fighter pilots of Britain and her Empire went to war throughout the last 18 months of World War 1. It was the Spitfire of the Western Front: delivering greater speed, range, firepower and all-round performance than the vast majority of its opposition. Often working in partnership with the more pugnacious Sopwith Camel, the S.E.5 and S.E.5a ensured that no enemy aircraft was safe even a long way behind their own lines as the Royal Flying Corps gradually won air superiority over the trenches.
