North American's often-forgotten F-107A remains perhaps the most enigmatic of the famous early "Century Series" fighters. The enigma stems from the fact that it was an outstanding and extraordinarily effective war-plane and was, perhaps, the best airplane in the world for its particular job at the time of its late 1956 first flight. Mysteriously, it was never to go into production, even in light of its superior capabilities. The F-107A scored several firsts. Among them were a truly unique flight control system, an advanced inlet system, and the incorporation of a semi-submerged store. It was also the last of a long line of North American fighters to be built. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Well-illustrated, the author has included excepts from the flight test through disposition and display of each aircraft in addition to the usual Ginter formatting of development and technical illustrations. The coverage of the loss to the F-105 will undoubtedly rankle fans of both aircraft, but the truth of the matter is the F-105 was capable of carrying more ordnance and probably by virtual of the intake design had greater growth potential for a second crewman or additional equipment.
Since this is an older Legends volume dating to 2002 and before Ginter discovered color some modelers will be disappointed should the old Trumpeter kit be re-released or perhaps a modern 1/48th kit is released.
Highly recommended for anyone interested in the aircraft whether out of technical curiosity, interest in the F-107A program itself, and modelers. (
