WAGNER, WOLFGANG THE HISTORY OF GERMAN AVIATION: THE OVER 260 BLACK & WHI 8 1/2" X 11", 260 PG | |
|
This book, the first in a multi-volume history of German aviation, provides a comprehensive and detailed analysis of of jet aircraft design and development in Germany. The solid description, unique photo material, historical documents, numerous drawings and complete data tables published for the first time make this book not only a gripping story but also an indispensable reference work for anyone with an interest in the development of aviation. In August 1939 in Germany a small propellerless aircraft took off on its maiden flight under conditions of utmost secrecy: the worlds first jet aircraft. Apart from Ernst Heinkel, Hans Joachim Pabst von Ohain (inventor of the turbojet engine) and a small circle of their co-workers, no one suspected the profound effect that the successful flight of the tiny He 178 would have on aviation. Spurred on by Heinkels success, very high speed aircraft were also put into the air by Messerschmitt, Arado and Junkers. On the other hand the designers of jet engines initially encountered almost insuperable problems, for in wartime high-quality raw materials such as nickel, cobalt and molybdenum were unobtainable and substitute materials had to be used in their place. But the designers, who were rushing ahead with their own projects, found a way around this with the help of experienced test pilots: in 1940 the Heinkel 280, the first twin-engined jet aircraft, was flown without engines as a towed glider; Messerschmitt installed an auxiliary piston engine in the nose of its twin-engined Me 262; Arado equipped its twin-engined Ar 234 with jet engines intended for ground tests only. The test pilots became accustomed to landing on just one working engine or none at all. In spite of shortages of strategic materials and the use of replacements, jet engines reached the production stage by the end of the war. But it was only possible to put small numbers of the very high speed aircraft into service, too late to have any decisive effect on the war. The development work on these first jet aircraft led to a tremendous technological leap forward; it was the beginning of advanced technology in aircraft design. Price: $0.00 |

WAGNER, WOLFGANG HISTORY OF GERMAN AVIATION: KURT TANK OVER 200 BLACK & WHI 8 1/2" X 11", 272 PG | |
|
This volume, the second in a mulit-volume history of German aviation, discusses the life work of one of Germany's greatest aircraft designers in pictures, tables, drawings and in his own words discussing flight testing of his airplanes. Examined are the birth of Focke-Wulf's airplanes, the ideas and thinking which formed the foundation of Tank's designs, his masterpieces in the areas of long-range and high-speed flight as well as flight test results. The reader experiences the metamorphosis of an aircraft design from the first pencil line on the drawing board to the screaming, nearly supersonic dives during its evaluation phase. Tank would only entrust to civilian pilots, military flyers and the captains of the Lufthansa fleet those designs whose superior flying characteristics, stability, and flawless stall handling he had been able to experience first hand. A mixture of technical history, flight testing and previously unpublished data enable the reader to catch a fascinating glimpse of the aircraft built during the 1930s and 1940s, not to mention the outstanding designs Tank worked on in other countries following the war. All of the classic Focke-Wulf aircraft are to be found: the well-known Fw 200, Fw 190, Ta 152, and Ta 154, as well as the lesser known Fw 57, Fw 187, Fw 189 and others. Price: $39.95 |

WAHLBERG, HOLLY 1950S PLASTICS DESIGN 250 COLOR PHOTOS 8 1/2" X 11", 112 PG | |
|
This newly revised book presents a factual discussion of the wide variety of colorful and popular plastics housewares made between 1945 and 1960. Wonderful advertisements that announced to the world what new designs were possible with this experimental material are shown. Many color photographs of today's highly collectible plastics objects demonstrate the variety of colors and useful forms that were manufactured.Vinyl, Lucite, Melamine and Formica, to name but a few, have become common household names since their introduction in this era. Here are chairs, tables, dishes, cups, radios, lampshades, draperies, cooking containers, car interiors, floors and more-all made of plastics. A very useful Collectors' Guide, providing information about all the major manufacturers and trade names, is organized by product types for easy reference.For 1950s families with small budgets and small homes, the "magic" of plastics chemistry promised unprecedented practical benefits mingled with the glamour and drama of sleek modern forms. At last, plastics had stepped out of the kitchen and bath to enter almost every area of home design. In a single decade, plastics had won favor among an astonishingly diverse group-from dimestore shoppers and young marrieds to gifted designers and prestigious proponents of affordable good design.In tracing plastic's whirlwind rise from wartime sham to postwar miracle, this book explores not only the history of an important segment of 1950s collectibles but also the history of a culture redefining its way of life.

WALL, ROBERT OCEAN LINER POSTCARD S: IN MARINE ART 19 200 COLOR, 50 B&W 5 1/4 " X 8 1/2", 15 | |
|
This book provides a fascinating insight not only into the art of a particular school of marine painters in the early part of the twentieth century, but also into the history of a time of great technological change. These changes were to bring about the introduction of marine art postcards, contribute to their huge popularity and then lead to their demise, all in the space of some fifty years. The official acceptance of the picture postcard by the postal services in Britain in 1902 came at the height of the North Atlantic passenger traffic. Postcards on all themes were soon being produced and the shipping companies saw in the postcard a convenient and cost effective advertising medium. Marine artists were used in preference to photographers partly due to the difficulty of effectively photographing large ships at sea and partly due to the need for good colour. As a result, a significant school of very competent marine artists grew around the postcard industry. These postcards record not only the North Atlantic ships but also those that plied between Europe and India, the Far East, South America and Africa. They provide a nostalgic look at forgotten days of leisured and luxury travel and the accompanying text records the ships, their builders, and the great names in shipping companies. The decline of the marine postcard boom started in the inter-war years with the introduction of controlled immigration to the United States and its doom was sealed with the advent of the Second World War. Paper shortages heralded the end, but the final blows came quickly after the war with the introduction of the colour photograph postcard followed by the growing popularity of affordable air travel. Robert Wall provides the collector with a comprehensive dictionary of marine artists. He also gives practical advice on the whys and wherefores of collecting in this popular and fascinating subject area. |
