Hawker Siddeley Aviation and Dynamics - Stephen Skinner - Bog - The Crowood Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Hawker Siddeley Aviation and Dynamics - Stephen Skinner - Bog - The Crowood Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Hawker Siddeley''s history can be traced back to 1912 and the formation of the Sopwith Aviation Company by Tom Sopwith which metamorphosed into Hawker Aircraft after World War One. In 1934-35, Gloster, Avro, Armstrong Siddeley, Armstrong Whitworth and others were taken over to create the Hawker Siddeley Group. The Group built some of the most important aircraft and missiles of the 1960s, 1970s and beyond; its best-known products included the Harrier, Buccaneer, Nimrod and Hawk warplanes, Sea Dart missile and HS748 airliner. Its collaborative projects included the European Airbus and various satellite programmes. Hawker Siddeley was subsumed into British Aerospace in 1977, but some of its products still remain in service to this day. This is their story.

The Design and Development of the Hawker Hunter - Tony Buttler - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Design and Development of the Hawker Hunter - Tony Buttler - Bog - The History Press Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Many books have been written about the Hawker Hunter, one of the world’s great jet fighters. The majority, however, have tended to concentrate on the aircraft’s extensive service career. Superbly illustrated with both colour and black-and-white photographs of the Hawker Hunter – which has always been one of the most photogenic of all aeroplanes – this new title is the first devoted specifically to the Hunter’s design and development: how and why the aircraft came into being, the troubles it experienced on the way, its flight test programme and what it was like to pilot. Drawing on many original Air Staff and Ministry documents and also the Hawker aircraft day-to-day diaries, it tells the story of one-off modifications and trials projects, aerodynamic modifications and tests with various weapons, along with proposed developments, including supersonic versions.

Hawker Hurricane - Ron Mackay - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Hawker Hurricane - Ron Mackay - Bog - Schiffer Publishing Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The Hawker Hurricane has rightly earned its place in military aviation annals. Although only preceding the Spitfire by four months in its prototypic launch, the Hawker machine was available in measurably greater numbers by the Battle of Britain, a very critical stage of WWII for Britain and its Empire. Its rugged qualities saw use in the Mediterranean and Far East Theaters, and on the Russia Front. It adapted equally well to naval operations as a CAM-ship "protector" for Allied convoys and then as the first truly modern British fighter design to operate off the Fleet Air Arm’s aircraft carriers. The solid wing structure lent itself naturally to the carriage of bombs and heavier-scale weaponry such as the 40 mm cannon that dealt out a fair measure of punishment. The few airworthy examples are a poignant reminder of Britain’s WWII aviation prowess. Part of the Legends of Warfare series.

The Last Tree - Luke Adam Hawker - Bog - Octopus Publishing Group - Plusbog.dk

From the author of Together. Imagine a world without trees. A world that is in many ways like our world, but where magnificent canopies, tree climbing and leaves rustling in the breeze are now only distant memories. Until a young girl comes along, a girl who is brave and spirited and willing to follow where her imagination takes her. Through Olive''s adventures in the world of trees we are reminded of nature''s extraordinary power and beauty, and her actions ultimately sow the seeds of new life in her own world.From the mind and pen of bestselling author Luke Adam Hawker, The Last Tree is a powerful evocation of the fragility of our natural world and a magnificent celebration of its beauty. Praise for Together: "An accurate and thoughtful account of one of the most challenging years in modern history." - The Guardian "Hawker''s images always seem to have just the right mixture of gravitas and sly, understated humour." - The Scotsman

Stormfighter: The Hawker Typhoon Story - Patrick Carter - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Stormfighter: The Hawker Typhoon Story - Patrick Carter - Bog - Amberley Publishing - Plusbog.dk

The Hawker Typhoon was one of the most powerful fighters built during the Second World War and one of the most effective ground-attack aircraft. In this fascinating book, Patrick Carter describes the development of the Typhoon, the experience of flying it and some of its notable wartime operations.The book begins with an introduction to the Hawker Aircraft Company and its chief designer Sir Sidney Camm and his family of ‘stormfighters’. Apart from the Typhoon, these included the Tornado, Tempest and Sea Fury. He describes the new design concepts that would make the Typhoon capable of carrying twelve Browning machine guns as well as rockets but also the many teething problems that threatened to halt development.Much of the Typhoon’s effectiveness was due to its engine. The Napier Sabre was the powerful piston engine of the Second World War and gave the Typhoon the ability to chase down the latest German fighters such as the Focke-Wolf Fw 190 as well as the V1 flying bomb. However, it is as a devastating ground-strike aircraft before and after D-Day that the Typhoon is best remembered. Having reached the pinnacle of piston-engine power, the Typhoon would be superceded by the new aircraft of the jet age, including the Gloster E28/39, but its legacy will never be forgotten.
