F-8 and FR-8 Crusader in Detail & Scale

This new title F-8 & RF-8 Crusader in Detail & Scale includes updated content, photos, and dozens of illustrations and full color profiles. The photographic collections of some of the very best aviation photographers have been opened to Detail & Scale, and several recognized experts have also contributed to this new book, resulting in a new, more comprehensive and much larger publication on the Crusader than was previously available. This book includes:

• A detailed developmental and operational history of the Crusader
• A comprehensive chapter covering every variant of the Crusader produced for the U.S. Navy and Marines
• Chapters on the F-8s used by NASA in advanced flight research
• A chapter on Crusader Details covering the cockpit, windscreen and canopy, fuselage, landing gear, wings, tail, engine, armament, and ECM equipment details.
• A chapter covering the modeling history of the Crusader, from early kits that are now only collector's items, to the gamut of kits that have been available for the past half century.
