Titan T-51 Project For Sale: “Isolated Damage, Cheap”

A 2015 Titan T-51 project has been spotted for sale.

According to the listing, this two‑seat, experimental 3/4 scale P-51D replica is all‑metal construction with a steel‑tube fuselage frame and aluminum skins. It uses blind (“pop”) rivets to simplify construction and repair and is powered by an 185‑hp Suzuki H27A 2.7L V‑6, giving brisk acceleration, strong climb, and increased cruise speed compared with the original Rotax‑powered configuration. The airplane has about 161 total flight hours and suffered isolated damage after striking a deer on takeoff which wrinkled and deformed the left wing leading edge and flap, dented and torn some right‑side fuselage and center‑section skin, and broke two fiberglass prop blades, while leaving the main gear, tailwheel, spars, cowling, interior, dual seats, and dash wiring largely intact, making it a repairable project rather than a total loss.

The aircraft is located in Bristow, Oklahoma and is currently available for US $19,950, although bids are also being accepted. Click here to check out the eBay listing, which includes additional photos and details.

New Book Chronicles Perilous Work of USAF Combat Cameramen

Coming soon from Helion and Company and author Kevin Wright is USAF Combat Camera 1941–1991: The Brave Ones Shoot Bullets, the Crazy Ones Shoot Film, documenting USAF cinematographers and photographers and their frequently hazardous work.

USAF Combat Cameramen and later women have participated in every major US military operation and deployment worldwide. Whilst some of their wartime productions like the original Memphis Belle and The Last Bomb, rightly gained wide public acclaim, the vast majority of their work, often classified, was for the Pentagon’s eyes only. Their main role was to keep senior military commanders and decision-makers informed about USAF operations and to record the challenges faced by US armed forces on the ground.

Combat Camera charts those activities from their origins in Hollywood, producing military training films, through wartime movies, bomber operations over Europe and Japan, the liberation of France, the attacks on Hiroshima and Nagasaki, to Korea, Vietnam, Grenada, Panama and the 1991 Gulf War.

These events are explored mainly through personal accounts from the combat cameramen and women themselves. From acts of individual heroism, through organisational change, new equipment and their often ringside seats at historic events, Combat Camera captures the work of these remarkable men and women and has been produced with cooperation of the membership of the USAF Combat Camera Association.

This volume is profusely illustrated with original photographs and includes unique links to original motion footage shot by the USAF Combat Cameramen, in addition to the @War series signature colour artworks.

The 72 page paperback publication is currently available for pre-order with release set for June 15.

The History of British Airways Told Through Museum Artifacts

Coming soon from Amberley Publishing and author Al Bridger is British Airways in 100 Objects, which is focused on artifacts held by the British Airways Speedbird Centre.

British Airways has an almost unique history. Spanning over a century from the first flight of Aircraft Transport and Travel Ltd from London to Paris in 1919 to the modern fuel-efficient aircraft of its current fleet, British Airways has proudly connected Britain to the World and the World to Britain. Over that journey through the rapidly evolving early years of pioneering aviation, taking days to cross continents with biplanes and seaplanes, through the post-war piston-engine luxury, the iconic jet age of the fabulous Boeing 707 and 747, the supersonic marvel of Concorde into the modern era of travel, British Airways has seen many historic events and carried literally billions of customers. Along the way that journey has generated vast amounts of treasured items, many of which are now displayed or stored at British Airways headquarters near Heathrow in its truly incredible museum, the Speedbird Centre. Much of the archive has true national importance and is kept as part of the nation’s heritage. From simple in-flight mementos to the Olympic torch, the items featured in this book represent just a flavour of that collection and bring decades of flight to life.

The 144 page, paperback publication is currently available for pre-order with release set for May 15.
