Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The T-33 "Thunderbird" was the training variant of the U.S. Air Force's first production jet fighter, the F/P-80 "Shooting Star." Originally designed by Lockheed's "Kelly" Johnson during WWII, the P-80 went from drawing board to airborne in a record 150 days. The T-bird was three feet longer than the P-80, and boasted a second seat, instrumentation and flight controls. Equipped with an Allison J33 turbojet, the T-33 had a maximum speed of 600 mph, a range of over 1200 miles in ferry, and a service ceiling of 48,000 feet. The Navy also operated the T-33 as the TV-2 or T-33B, and eventually produced a carrier-capable variant called the T2V-1/T-1A SeaStar. In addition to its role as a trainer, the plane served as a drone control aircraft, reconnaissance platform, and target tow aircraft. In foreign service the T-33, which could carry rockets, bombs and gun pods, was used as a combat aircraft. Perhaps its most notable combat role was during the Bay of Pigs, when T-33s flown by the Cuban Revolutionary Air Force (FAR) attacked ships and aircraft of the exile forces, helping fend off the invasion. One of the most successful and enduring aircraft in history, the T-33 flew in the air forces of over 30 nations. Over 6500 were produced between 1949-59, and some continue to fly today. Originally printed by Lockheed and the U.S.A.F., this Flight Operating Handbook taught pilots everything they needed to know before entering the cockpit. Originally classified "Restricted," the manual was declassified and is here reprinted in book form. This affordable facsimile has been slightly reformatted. Care has been taken however to preserve the integrity of the text.

Book excerpt: The T-33 jet trainer was derived from the Lockheed F-80C Shooting Star, the USAF's first operational jet fighter, in 1948. In the fifty years since its introduction the T-33 has trained more jet pilots than any other training type. In addition to this role, it has served, and continues to serve, as an attack fighter - the AT-33 - and as a reconnaissance aircraft - the RT-33 - in several foreign air forces. It was also a testbed in many development programs including tests on ejection seats and missile guidance systems, and continues yet today in various military and civilian roles.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "This is a comprehensive study of the training aircraft used to transition the United States military into the jet age. After assembling the greatest air armada in history in World War II, the United States faced the challenges of the Cold War. High-performance jets replaced propeller fighters, and a new generation of pilots was needed. But military planners, reluctant to scrap the existing inventory of trainers, insisted these pilots earn their wings in airplanes designed in the 1930s. The attrition rate among newly winged pilots, assigned to jets that often exceeded their abilities, was appalling. Finally, in 1949, a privately funded jet trainer, the T-33 was developed, followed by the T-28 in 1950, the T-34 in 1953, and T-37 in 1957. Gradually, pilot proficiency improved, but the cycle is recurring as new trainers and teaching techniques are needed to replace the aging aircraft and methods of the past."--Jacket.
