The Brewster Buffalo (Profile Publications No. 217)
|
|
|
Windsor: Profile Publications, 1971 The Brewster Buffalo (Profile Publications No. 217) The Brewster F2A (company Model 139) was an American fighter aircraft which saw limited service during World War II. In 1939, the F2A became the first monoplane fighter aircraft used by the US Navy. In December 1941, it suffered severe losses with both British Commonwealth and Dutch air forces in South East Asia while facing the Japanese Navy A6M Zero and the Japanese Army's Oscar. It also saw action with US Marine Corps squadrons at the Battle of Midway. Frustrated with the Buffalo's poor maneuverability and speed compared to the Japanese Zero, the F2A was derided by U.S. Marine Corps pilots as a "flying coffin", However, during the Continuation War of 1941-1944, the Buffaloes operated by the Finnish Air Force proved capable of engaging and destroying most types of Soviet fighter aircraft operating against Finland at that time.

Seaport Development on Maplin Sands
|
|
|
London: The Port of London Authority, 1974 The Maplin Sands are mudflats on the northern bank of the Thames estuary, off Foulness Island, near Southend-on-Sea in Essex, England. They are valuable as a wildlife reserve, with a large colony of dwarf eelgrass (Zostera noltei) and associated animal communities. A screw-pile lighthouse was built on the sands in 1838, which was possibly the world's first. A plan to build a third airport for London on the sands was considered. The project would have included not just a major airport, but a deep-water harbour suitable for the container ships then coming into use, a high-speed rail link to London, and a new town for the accommodation of the thousands of workers who would be required. An attractive aspect of the plan was said to be that aircraft taking off against the prevailing wind would do so over the Thames Estuary, thus minimising noise nuisance on the ground. In 1973 a Special Development Order was made under the Town and Country Planning Acts granting planning permission for the project, and the Maplin Development Authority was constituted and began its work. The following year, however, the project became one of the many casualties of the 1973/74 oil crisis precipitated by the Yom Kippur War, and was abandoned in favour of a cheaper plan to enlarge Stansted Airport; the requirement for a container ship harbour was to be discharged by the development of Felixstowe. The Maplin Sands were at that time, and remain, a military testing ground belonging to the Ministry of Defence. Indludes original press release.. First Edition. Spiral Bound.

The Automotive Bibliography: Over 12, 000 Works in English, Danish, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish
|
|
|
Jefferson: McFarland & Company, 2003. As a social phenomenon, motorization has pervaded every realm of human activity - cultural, political, and economic - all over the world. Such expressions as "automobiles age" and "car culture" used by James J. Flink and other historians refer not only to the motor vehicles themselves, but also, for example, to motor racing, industrial development, and class relations. A vast body of published works has arisen from more than a century of writing about automobiles and related subjects. This bibliography, unrivaled in scope and comprehensiveness, catalogs books on motor vehicles and motorization published through 1999. It includes monographs, theses, biographies, encyclopedias, other reference books, company and government publications, and buyer's, collector's, spotter's and identification guides. Works specifically on motor vehicles are divided into four sections: automobiles; sports, muscle and racing cars; two-wheeled vehicles; and general works, other vehicles and automotive accessories and components. A separate section includes books about the broader subject of motorization: general works and cultural aspects; uses of motor vehicles; motor vehicles in industries; and individuals and organizations..
