Lot 2-Legends of Warfare AVIATION-AD and A-1 Skyraider/F-111 Aardvark- Military

Description: Lot of 2 books from the Legends of Warfare AVIATION AD and A-1 Skyraider: Douglas's "Spad" in Korea and Vietnam, by David Doyle, Schiffer Military (2021) Hardcover (9.25x9.25”) 112 pgs, b&w ils/photos. …ISBN 9780764361326 ------Production began in 1946, and the type made its combat debut during the Korean War. Though regarded by many as obsolete, the Skyraider again saw combat in Vietnam. It could fly low and slow, so it was used for air cover for troops on the ground, in addition to use as an attack aircraft. REF: General Review F-111 Aardvark: General Dynamics' Variable-Swept-Wing Attack Aircraft, by John Gourley, Schiffer Military (2021) Hardcover (9.25x9.25”) 128 pgs, b&w ils/photos. …ISBN 9780764361289 ------Despite a rocky service career, political changes in how the military acquired its weaponry, and the addition of too much new technology, the F-111 provided a credible frontline deterrent in the Cold War era and was used to great effect in the Vietnam War and Operation Desert Storm. The F-111 was phased out by the USAF in the mid-90s, largely due to high maintenance costs. The aircraft remained in Australian service until 2010. Bindings are all tight and pages clean. I might describe these as Like New, but with one or two very small bumps on the cover edges, I'll go with Very (very) Good. Please see the pictures for more information about these books and the conditions of these copies. ► We are thinning contents of our smoke-free, pet-free home.
