Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Mustang is considered the best fighter of World War II. The outstanding flight characteristics of this elegant aircraft were due to the adoption of a wing profile laminar (particularly designed for high speeds) and other measures which concerned the radiator and the careful study of the various components for quick construction on an industrial scale. Capable of reaching high altitudes, was also used in the escort bombers. In addition to the United States was exported to many foreign countries that have employed, in some cases, until the '70s. Entered service with the A.M. in 1948, replacing the now exhausted Spitfire line hunting. Although the first models, equipped with Allison engine cylinders in line, they were, good low-altitude aircraft, it was only with the adoption of the Rolls-Royce Merlin engine, mounted on later models, the Mustang was able to give the best of himself. The essential simplicity of the design, coupled with a pleasant look and aerodynamic, constituted a great potential for development and the consequence was that the Mustang excelled in two fields: powerful fighter bomber operating at low altitude and high altitude escort fighter with long range . In the first as the Mustang was able to develop a formidable firepower, including the firing of rockets and bombs; in the second role, thanks to extra tanks that were dropped when empty, was the first Allied fighter escort to make raid down over Berlin and Tokyo. In every respect the Mustang was a big plane, much loved by the pilots and crews of the escorting bombers and greatly feared by the Japanese and German pilots. With the engine Merlin Mustang had phenomenal qualities of speed both up and acceleration. All this, combined with excellent maneuverability, made him a fighter truly superlative performance.

Book North American Aviation P 51 Mustang

Download or read book North American Aviation P 51 Mustang written by Robert Jackson and published by Air World. This book was released on 2020-09-30 with total page 96 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The North American P-51 Mustang was one of the most successful and effective fighter aircraft of all time. It was initially produced in response to a 1940 RAF requirement for a fast, heavily-armed fighter able to operate effectively at altitudes in excess of 20,000ft. North America built the prototype in 117 days, and the aircraft, designated NA-73X, flew on 26 October 1940. The first of 320 production Mustang Is for the RAF flew on 1 May 1941, powered by a 1,100hp Allison V-1710-39 engine. RAF test pilots soon found that with this powerplant the aircraft did not perform well at high altitude, but that its low-level performance was excellent. It was when the Mustang airframe was married to a Packard-built Rolls-Royce Merlin engine that the aircraft’s true excellence became apparent. Possessing a greater combat radius than any other Allied single-engine fighter, it became synonymous with the Allied victory in the air. During the last eighteen months of the war in Europe, escorting bomber formations, it hounded the Luftwaffe to destruction in the very heart of Germany. In the Pacific, operating from advance bases, it ranged over the Japanese Home Islands, joining carrier-borne fighters such as the Grumman Hellcat to bring the Allies massive air superiority. Yet the Mustang came about almost by accident, a product of the Royal Air Force’s urgent need for new combat aircraft in the dark days of 1940, when Britain, fighting for survival, turned to the United States for help in the island nation’s darkest hour.

Book Cross Border Cosmopolitans

Download or read book Cross Border Cosmopolitans written by Wendell Nii Laryea Adjetey and published by UNC Press Books. This book was released on 2022-12-06 with total page 421 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: African American history from 1900 to 2000 cannot be told without accounting for the significant influence of Pan-African thought, just as the story of twentieth-century U.S. foreign policy cannot be told without accounting for fears of an African World. In the early 1900s, Marcus Garvey and his followers perceived the North American mainland, particularly Canada following U.S. authorities' deportation of Garvey to Jamaica, as a forward-operating base from which to liberate the Black masses from colonialism. After World War II, Vietnam War resisters, Black Panthers, and Caribbean students joined the throngs of cross-border migrants to denounce militarism, imperialism, and capitalism. In time, as urban uprisings proliferated in northern U.S. cities, the prospect of coalitions among the Black Power, Red Power, and Quebecois Power movements inspired U.S. and Canadian intelligence services to collaborate, infiltrate, and sabotage Black organizations across North America. Assassinations of "Black messiahs" further radicalized revolutionaries, rekindling the dream for an African World from Washington, D.C., to Toronto to San Francisco to Antigua to Grenada and back to Africa. Alarmed, Washington's national security elites invoked the Cold War as the reason to counter the triangulation of Black Power in the Atlantic World, funneling arms clandestinely from the United States and Canada to the Caribbean and then to its proxies in southern Africa. By contending that twentieth-century global Black liberation movements began within the U.S.-Canadian borderlands as cross-border, continental struggles, Cross-Border Cosmopolitans reveals the revolutionary legacies of the Underground Railroad and America's Great Migration and the hemispheric and transatlantic dimensions of this history.

Download or read book The Battle for Britain written by Anthony J Cumming and published by Naval Institute Press. This book was released on 2015-05-15 with total page 249 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Battle for Britain is a provocative reinterpretation of both British air and naval power from 1909 to 1940. Anthony Cumming challenges the view that the Battle of Britain was a decisive victory won solely by the Royal Air Force through independent airpower operations. By re-evaluating the early stage of the Mediterranean conflict and giving special emphasis to naval battles such as Calabria and Taranto, Cumming argues that the Royal Navy played an equally important role in defeating Hitler’s early advances, buying critical time until the Americans could make a decisive contribution. His argument holds that the RAF’s role as an independent arm has been exaggerated and that contemporary strategists can learn from investing too much confidence in independent airpower.
