Lockheed C-141 Starlifter, Paperback / softback Book

Lockheed C-141 Starlifter Paperback / softback

Part of the Historic Military Aircraft Series series

Paperback / softback

Description

Loved by most associated personnel and enthusiasts alike, the C-141 Starlifter, quite simply, looked right and was right.

During the second half of the 1960s, it quickly became a commonplace visitor worldwide, and it was in service for more than forty years before the final examples were retired in favour of more capable airlifters.

Such was its popularity that many crews left their heart aboard the silent airframe when they walked away for the last time. Containing over 170 images, many previously unseen, and detailed information supplied by the people who flew, maintained, and supported the C-141, this book looks at the aircraft itself, as well as the organisations that flew it.

A host of names and extra markings are shown, including the graffiti briefly applied during the Rodeo competitions.

Details of every unit that flew the Starlifter are also included, making it an invaluable addition to the book collections of both enthusiasts and modellers.
