Description

The Albatross was the premier fixed-wing rescue aircraft for the U.S.

Air Force and Coast Guard. Its very colorful history begins in 1946 and spans nearly a quarter of a century, including service with twenty-two foreign nations.

With a total of 466 built by Grumman, more than eighty examples still thrive on the civil register.

The Albatross also saw extensive service in the Korean and Vietnam wars.

The fascinating history of this unique aircraft is complemented by over 200 photographs including many in color showing the great variations in color schemes and markings.
