|
|
| The world of aircraft tail codes is
complicated at best and incomprehensible at worst. While
the USAF generally keeps things relatively constant, the
Navy issue is confused by the constant changing of air
wings and ships.
|
| Opening pages include a glossary of
abbreviations, and explanation of how each section is
arranged and a history of different units. There is
also a paint scheme section explaining the changing paint
schemes. The main body of the book is broken down
into three basic sections. First is a listing by
tail code. There are two subsections to this; by
letter-letter section (i.e. AB) , then number-letter (i.e.
6G), finally a section by unit. All sections detail
which aircraft types were flown during what period of
time. The unit section does this plus shows the
changing tail codes as air wings are changed. 262
pages with 400 photos.
