Dataview #1 F/A-18 Hornet in US service By Al Superczynski

The Dataview series is devoted to covering aerospace subjects in an electronic format for the enthusiast and modeler. Each volume will cover a particular subject in a concise yet thorough manner, mixing test with high resolution images, as well as listing references in print and electronic media to encourage further research.

This initial entry in the series covers the F/A-18 Hornet - the multi-role workhorse of the US Navy and Marine Corps. The design originated with Northrop as the P.530 in the early 1970s, flew as the YF-17 several years later, and entered service in the early 1980s as a naval aircraft built by McDonnell Douglas. Today, the evolved F/A-18E/F Super Hornet is being built by Boeing to re-equip Navy squadrons as a replacement for the F-14 Tomcat. This e-book, in .pdf format on CD-R, covers the Hornet's development and service history, and includes over 100 high resolution images, all in color. Many of these are close-up detail shots useful for modeling. An extensive bibliography lists magazine, book, and web resources.

This CD is highly recommended to Bug fans worldwide!
