Avions militaires (depuis 1945) : livres - histoire

Patrouilles Acrobatiques du Monde

Toutes les grandes armées de l'air du monde sont représentées par leur patrouille militaire. Les premières grandes patrouilles sont apparues en Occident, sous la guerre froide. Depuis, dans un monde "multipolaire", toutes les puissances émergentes ont aussi leur patrouille, devenue célèbre. En vol, elles sont le miroir de traditions militaires et de savoir-faire aéronautiques propres à leur pays.

En 2017, vingt patrouilles militaires, très hautes en couleurs, se partagent le ciel et les podiums de meetings, avec éclat et fumigènes. François Brévot les a photographiées sur cinq continents. Il les présente, toutes en action, en gros plans, sous tous les angles, et sous les éclairages les plus spectaculaires.

Cet album est le premier livre à regrouper, en français, toutes ces grandes patrouilles militaires de France, du Royaume-Uni, d'Italie, d'Espagne, de Suisse, de Croatie, de Pologne, des Etats-Unis, du Canada, de Russie, de Chine,de Corée du Sud, de Singapour, des Emirats Arabes Unis, d'Arabie Saoudite, de Turquie, et d'Inde.

Caractéristiques

Vertical Take-off Fighter Aircraft

In the late 1930s, engineers and designers began to consider combat aircraft with a vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capability. From a military viewpoint, the advantages were always obvious and a VTOL fighter could operated from improvised land sites, various ships or perhaps even submarines.
Nevertheless, there have always been huge technical challenges, with many concepts failing to progress beyond the drawing board. This partly explains why the only VTOL fighter to reach operational service has been the British Harrier.

In this extensively illustrated and highly detailed book, the author describes many often obscure VTOL fighter projects, along with related vertical take-off (VTO) interceptors and rocket assisted, zero length launch (ZEL) conventional fighters.
Obviously, no book on this subject would be complete without the inclusion of the Harrier and the US-UK F-35C replacement, which will be stealthy, fast and very expensive. This version of the advanced fifth-generation fighter has been selected by the US Marine Corps and will be used by the Royal Navy, when its two new aircraft carriers enter service.

Aufklärer - seit 1945 (Typenkompass)

Reconnaissance aircraft have always been the spearhead of the various air forces, as they create the basis for all other military operations.
During the Cold War and before the satellite era, reconnaissance aircraft experienced their absolute heyday, as the opposing blocs needed to know what was happening on the other side, and correspondingly powerful aircraft were developed during this time, which achieved previously unknown performance in terms of operational altitude, speed and flight duration.

Each type is presented with a photo, a historical description and a technical sheet.

Caractéristiques

Drohnen - Unbemannte Krieger der Lüfte

In recent years, drones have become massively popular in the military: they are no longer just unarmed training targets, but are also used for surveillance tasks and in offensive roles.
Today's fighter pilot can drive to the base in the morning, complete a drone mission from there and be back home after work.

This book provides a complete overview of all drones from their beginnings to the present day. More than 40 types are presented, ranging from aircraft the size of shoeboxes to machines that are almost the size of passenger jets.

Caractéristiques

Mehrzweckkampfflugzeuge - Weltweit

Multi-role combat aircraft can be used universally and are not restricted to one role. It is not for nothing that they are considered the most powerful combat aircraft of all: air defense, attack role, reconnaissance or electronic warfare - they can take on practically any opponent and are now the benchmark in almost all air forces.
Equipped with an impressive arsenal of weapons, they also have the most modern reconnaissance equipment.

In his usual expert manner, Heiko Thiesler presents this aircraft category with rare, partly unpublished photos, data, three-view drawings and color profiles.
