Jim Sullivan - F-8 Crusader in action
Squadron/Signal Publications | 1985 | ISBN: 0897471695 | 52 pages | PDF | 7.4 MB
Aircraft Number 70

1,261 of these carrier fighters were built. First flown in 1955, the Crusader was the Navy's first ship born fighter to exceed Mach 1 in level flight. The jet was retired in 1975. This book includes lots of excellent B&W photos, line drawings and a bit of narrative to describe each varient of the planes. There are two pages of color drawings to show different paint schemes used by the Navy and Marines. This book is perfect for modelers, naval aviation buffs who want to learn about the Navy's primary fighter before the F-4 Phantom stole the show. The Crusader is an interesting plane and this is an intersting book on that jet fighter.
