Author Description
A pictorial study of the USN aircraft between 1922 and 1962. Over forty years, between 1922 and 1962, the USN and USMC used a designation system which began with biplanes and ended with jets, having been used through two major wars, WW2 and the Korean War. This system remained largely the same during that time, though it evolved with the introduction of new types and technology, and new exceptions developed as well. The purpose of this series is to explain this system using photographs. This volume contains over 100 photographs. This volume covers the last A Class aircraft types started with volume One, the AJ Savage, the A2J Super Savage, the A3J Vigilante versions prior to 1962, the AM Mauler, the AU Corsair, the A2U Cutlass and the B Class in full (BD, BG, B2G, BT, B2T, BY B2Y)
