About This Item
Shrewsbury: Airlife, 1989. Hardcover. Fine/fine. Comprehensive history of US Coast Guard use of aircraft, from its inception right up to publication date, with a glimpse of what was to come in the 'future'. Every fixed-wing, rotary-wing, and airship type ever used by the USCG is covered in great detail and illustrated with many clear photographs. The twelve chapters take a close look at such topics as the World War II era; the introduction of helicopters; the Coast Guard in Alaska; Search & Rescue; and the use of the C-130 Hercules, etc. Today, the USCG uses aircraft to conduct a wide range of missions, from anti-drug and pollution patrols, to Search & Rescue, and the International Ice Patrol (created to safeguard against another 'Titanic'-type disaster). The types used in this work are fully covered in this remarkable volume. A fascinating read for Coast Guard and/or aviation enthusiasts in general. Contains 170 pages, 30 x 21.5cms, and illustrated throughout with numerous colour and b&w photos plus maps and artwork. Blue cloth boards in Fine pictorial dust jacket. Internally, Fine: clean, bright and unmarked in excellent bindings. Looks, feels and smells like new.
