Book Description
| Cobra! is a comprehensive, meticulously
researched and fully documented history of Bell Aircraft Corporation and
their piston engine fighters built during the Great Depression and through
World War II. While the story centers on techincal aspects of the various
fighters, significant attention is also devoted to those key individuals
who conceived, built and flew these innovative designs. In addition to
aircraft development, Cobra! surveys the combat use of the P-39 and P-63
fighters in the hands of American, French, Italian, and Soviet pilots. The
story continues after World War II when a number of Bell surplus fighters
were successfully modified for air racing. Birch Matthews is also the
author of Wet Wings & Drop Tanks: Recollection of American
Transcontinental Air Racing 1928-1970, and Mustang: The Racing
Thoroughbred(with Dustin W. Carter). |
