Book Description
Known as "The X-Hunters," authors Peter W. Merlin and Tony Moore have located more than 100 crash sites of exotic aircraft from Edwards air Force Base and Area 51. Together, they have recovered parts of supersonic rocket planes, stealthy spy craft, and vehicles that have reached the edge of space. Each story in the book profiles an unusual aircraft and the brave men who flew it. The authors examine the contributing causes of each crash and use then-and-now photographs to illustrate their findings. The stories end with The X-Hunters' search for the crash site and what they discovered. Each adventure combines C.S.I.-type skills with X-Files persistence, with a dash of Indiana Jones for adventure. Aircraft profiled include the YB-49 and a pair of N9M flying wings, X-1A, X-1D, VB-51, XB-70, SR-71, YF-12, U-2 prototype, and many more.

Book Description
This paper discusses the preliminary perceptions and understandings of African countries on an arms trade treaty (ATT). Pursuant to the General Assembly Resolution 61/89, "Towards an arms trade treaty: establishing common international standards for the import, export and transfer of conventional weapons", adopted in December 2006, a group of 28 governmental experts were appointed by the United Nations Secretary General to assess the feasibility, scope and parameters of a possible ATT. Experts from five African countries, namely South Africa, Egypt, Nigeria, Algeria and Kenya, took part in the study. These countries' perceptions and understandings of an ATT will be discussed and analysed with the aim of highlighting the reservations and uncertainties that have been raised. The possible reasons for these reservations will also be discussed.

Provides a full description of all aircraft types including the Shaanxi Y8, the Chengdu JF-17 (FC-1) light fighter, which is now entering service with the Pakistan Air Force, the Shenyang J-10, and the KJ-2000 AWACS aircraft based on the Il'yushin IL-76. Numerous color profiles and three-view drawings are also included, along with the logos of production enterprises and design institutions.
