Book Description
The company that Leroy Grumman founded in 1929 has been linking with the aircraft of the US Navy since 1930. Grumman aircraft have been in every major conflict from the Second World War through Korea and Vietnam to the Gulf and Bosnia. Their factory in Bethpage, Long Island, New York, (affectionately known as the 'Ironworks') produced some of the best carrier-borne aircraft ever made including the TBM Avenger (most successful torpedo bomber of all time), the Hellcat and Wildcat as well as the F-14 Tomcat and A-6 Intruder. Grumman-built Lunar Modules were used in the Apollo space missions and successfully landed men on the moon. The Ironworks is a comprehensive history of the Grumman Corporation and its many aircraft, both civil and military. -- Back cover.

Book Description
The Grumman Mallard amphibious aircraft was developed just after World War II as a small passenger aircraft for airline use but quickly found its niche in the expanding world of business aviation. What better than an aircraft that could fly busy executives to business meetings but also drop down on a remote lake for some salmon fishing? Before jets came along it was a favorite of celebrities such as Christian Dior, Gar Wood and Lord Beaverbrook. In more recent years the Mallard has come to be regarded as one of the most beautiful seaplanes ever produced and it is popular with wealthy collectors, who restore them and use them to tour the world. This book, handsomely illustrated with photos of Mallards past and present, as well as unique fold-out cutaway drawings of the original and the turbine version, is the first book on this classic aircraft and a labor of love on the part of the author.

Book Description
In 1961, after the United States had acquired a total of fifteen minutes of spaceflight experience, President John F. Kennedy announced his plans for landing a man on the moon by 1970. The space race had begun. In 1962, after a strenuous competition, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) announced that the Grumman Aircraft Engineering Corporation of Bethpage, Long Island, had won the contract to build the lunar module-the spacecraft that would take Americans to the moon. This was the first, and the only, vehicle designed to take humans from one world to another. Although much has been written about the first men to set foot on the moon, those first hesitant steps would not have been possible without the efforts of the designers and technicians assigned to Project Apollo. Building Moonships: The Grumman Lunar Module tells the story of the people who built and tested the lunar modules that were deployed on missions as well as the modules that never saw the light of day. This is the first publication to chronicle the visual history of the design, construction, and launch of the lunar module-one of the most historic machines in all of human history.
