Book Description

Military history looking at aviators during the second half of Vietnam. The stories are told through interviews and journal excerpts of the pilots and aircrew themselves. Great tradey title.







Flawless Execution


Book Description

Your business can take a lesson from the American military's fighter pilots. At Mach 2, the instrument panel of an F-15 is screaming out information, the horizon is a blur, the wingman is occupied, the jet is hanging on the edge -- and yet fighter pilots routinely handle the stress. It's not much different in today's unforgiving business world. One slipup and your company is bankrupt before your employees know what hit them. What works on the squadron level for F-15 pilots will also work for your marketing team, sales force, or research and development group. By analyzing the work environment and attacking its centers of gravity in parallel, you'll begin to utilize the Plan-Brief-Execute-Debrief-Win cycle that will rapidly impact your business's future success. U.S. fighter squadrons have been using this program for nearly fifty years to reduce their mistake rate, cut casualties and equipment losses, and rack up an envious victory record. Now, with Flawless Execution, your business can too.

Cooling Characteristics of a Transpiration-cooled Afterburner with a Porous Wall of Brazed and Rolled Wire Cloth


Book Description

Abstract: Cooling data from this experimental afterburner are successfully correlated over a range of Reynolds number based on the distance downstream of the leading edge of the porous wall. Calculations based on the correlation indicate that the combustion-chamber cooling-air requirements for an exhaust-gas temperature of 3700° R are only 16 percent of the air required for conventional forced-convection cooling. The cooling-air requirements were nearly independent of flight condition, but close control of cooling-air pressure is required at high flight speeds.
