Bell X-1

A detailed history of the pioneering Bell X-1, the first manned craft to break the sound barrier. Brought to life with dazzling digital art, this rocket-powered aircraft launches Osprey's new 'X-Planes' series and brings the reader into the dangerous and thrilling world of experimental aircraft.In 1947, no one knew if it was possible to break the 'sound barrier'. The Bell X-1 was the tiny, rocket-powered craft that finally broke it. It was the result of innovative designers and engineers turning their attention from the pioneering jets of World War II to a new task – an aircraft designed purely to fly faster than sound. Legendary pilots rallied to the cause, with World War II ace Chuck Yeager piloting the X-1 when it finally achieved supersonic flight in 1947, the first manned craft to reach such speeds.With historical photographs and meticulously researched digital art, Peter Davies traces the whole career of the pioneering Bell X-1, from its early development through to the influence it had on military and civilian jets in the second half of the 20th century.

Bell X-2

Packed with photos and spectacular new artwork, this book traces the supersonic career and lasting influence of the record-breaking Bell X-2 rocket plane. A must-have for aviation enthusiasts, especially those interested in the thrilling, hi-tech world of the early Jet Age.Even before the spectacular success of its X-1 rocket-powered aircraft in breaking the ‘sound barrier’, the adventurous Bell Aircraft Corporation was already pushing ahead with a parallel project to build a second aircraft capable of far higher speeds. The X-2 (or Model 52) explored the equally uncertain technology of swept-back wings. Now common in modern conventional fighter aircraft, the Bell X-2 was revolutionary in using this type of airframe to probe Mach 3 and research the effects of extreme aerodynamic friction heat on airframes. Although both X-2s were destroyed in crashes after only 20 flights, killing two test pilots, the knowledge gained from the programme was invaluable in developing aircraft that could safely fly at such speeds. Using stunning artwork and historical photographs, this is the story of the plane that ultimately made the Lockheed Blackbird and Concorde possible.

Bell Bottom Trousers: Life aboard an Attack Transport in the Pacific during World War Two

Bell Bottom Trousers: Life aboard an Attack Transport in the Pacific during World War Two

This story tells of the experiences of a young sailor during World War II, aboard an Attack Transport in the Pacific theater. For the first time in our history we would be fighting a two front -conflict. The war fronts were widely separated and would require different types of fighting and planning. Europe would require a large scale amphibious attack (the Normandy landings) because most of the continent was held by the enemy. But in the Pacific theater, with its many islands, both large and small, the conditions necessitated an almost continuous amphibious war, for which we were not prepared. The United States had not fought an amphibious battle since the 1898 Spanish American War. We were a little rusty in this type of warfare, to say the least. Our British Ally had not fought an amphibious campaign since their ill-fated Gallipoli campaign in Turkey during World War I, a battle in which they had suffered a disastrous and humiliating defeat. Neither we nor our Allies possessed suitable landing craft for large-scale amphibious operations of this type. But in this aspect of the war we "lucked out", for a man by the name of Andrew J. Higgins, founder and president of Andrew J. Higgins Industries New Orleans, Louisiana, had developed a prototype landing craft that would win the war for the Allies--- the famed Higgins boats of World War II. But as good as these landing craft might be, they could not cross oceans or other large bodies of water under their own power. These boats required mother ships (transports and cargo ships) capable of carrying troops and all their equipment and supplies and all the other things needed for a successful invasion. Just any old ship wouldn't do; amphibious operations required a special type of ship. These transport and cargo ships needed to be able to load and unload all their troops and all the troop's equipment using only their own boats and their own crew members as stevedores, thus giving birth to the Attack Transports (APAs) and Attack Cargo Ships (AKAs). Later, LSTs (Landing Ship Tanks) and LCIs (Landing Craft Infantry) were added to the mix. Warships could shell enemy positions and warplanes could bomb enemy positions, but in the Pacific theater it took ground troops (Army or Marines), carried there by APAs and AKAs, to finish the job. Although, we never received the recognition and glory given the "Glamour Ships", we wore our Bell Bottom Trousers with just as much pride and luster as our comrades who served on the warships.
