REAL MEN WORK IN THE PITS

Book Description
"Jeff Hammond has been around racing for a long time-almost as long as me-and he has seen a lot. He's had a lot of success down in the pits where races are won, and he has a lot of stories to tell-some good, some bad-and they are all right here, in this terrific book." -Richard Petty When you stand out there before a race, and you hear the cheering of 150,000 people, and you know that millions of other people are watching on television... well, you just can't imagine the pump. It is just something you can't get enough of. I used to tell people when the day came that I could hear the words, "Gentlemen, start your engines," and not get goose bumps, that was the day I was going to walk away. It hasn't happened yet. I'm broadcasting now, instead of crew chiefing, but I still feel that way. Still get those goose bumps. "Racing is all about chemistry. Hammond and I had it. We were always on the same page. Sometimes I was on the front page though, and he was on the back page!" -Darrell Waltrip

The Men Who Flew the Vought F4U Corsair
Author: Martin W. BowmenPublisher: Pen and Sword Aviation
ISBN: 1526705826
Category : History
Languages : en
Pages : 384
Book Description
First flown in 1940, the prototype Vought F4U Corsair instantly became the fastest fighter in the world and the fastest US aircraft of any description. Powered by a huge 18-cylinder Pratt and Whitney Double Wasp engine driving an enormous 13 feet 4 inch propeller, the first Corsairs were capable of 417mph. This figure would rise to nearly 450mph in later versions despite the fact that fuel load and overall weight was increased. Production began in 1941, not only by Vought but also by Goodyear and Brewster. The F4U entered service with the US Navy in September 1942, although carrier-borne operations were initiated a little later not by the Americans but by the British Fleet Air Arm. The aircraft subsequently came to be extensively used from land and sea by the US Marines, Royal Navy, and Royal New Zealand Air Force. Famous squadrons like VMF-214 'The Black Sheep’ and VF-17 ‘Jolly Rogers’, along with many others, maintained total ascendancy over the Japanese for the rest of the war - a remarkable achievement for a single type. After the Second World War, the Corsair stayed in production and was used with distinction by the French in Indo-China and again by the US Navy in Korea. Since then, Corsairs have achieved significant success in air races and more and more are being restored to fly for museums and warbird enthusiasts the world over. Martin Bowman’s comprehensive new book combines technical information and detailed development history with a fascinating combat history told, in many cases, by the Second World War pilots themselves. Well researched, readable, and illustrated with dozens of rare and previously unpublished photographs, The Men Who Flew the Vought F4U Corsair is the perfect book for any fan of the ‘bent wing bird’.
