My next book, released for pre-order and to be shipped in a few weeks:
US Supersonic Bomber Projects 2
“The threat posed by the Soviet Union throughout the postwar period coincided with an explosion of innovation and can-do attitude among America’s aircraft manufacturers. Challenging requirements and experimentation resulted in a huge variety of designs for aircraft powered by nuclear reaction, aircraft capable of flying faster than Mach 5, advanced bombers able to land and take-off from the surface of the ocean, VTOL fighters and bombers, and many others. Aerospace engineer Scott Lowther collects some of the most radical and beyond-the-state-of-the-art ‘secret projects’ in this – the second volume of his US projects series.”
After the madness that was Vol 1, I just can’t wait!
Volume 1 included the “vanilla” designs that went into programs that were sane enough to go somewhere. Volume 2 is full of designs that were stranger. If there is a Volume 3… that will be kinda odd. A number of designs intended for V2 had to be cut for page limitation reasons, so a V3 isn’t an impossibility, but I suspect it will depend on how v2 sells.
