New Book Details All 46 Unclassified Skunk Works Projects From WW2 On

In his new book 75 years of the Lockheed Martin Skunk Works, author James C. Goodall details the 46 unclassified programs developed by the Lockheed’s legendary Skunk Works, forming a pictorial history that takes the reader from the middle part of World War II, through the Korean War, the shoot down of Francis Gary Powers on May 1, 1960, the Vietnam War, Desert Shield/Storm and beyond.

This pictorial journey will take the reader from the very beginning of the Skunk Works’ very first project (XP-80 Shooting Star) and follow the program through prototype build-up, first flight and, if they reached the frontline, operational service. This treatment will be repeated for each of the 30 unclassified program designed and built by the Skunk Works. Each program will form a chapter of at least two pages in length, with a maximum of 14 pages being allocated for programs that went into production and merit more detailed coverage, such as the P-80/F-94/T-33 family, C-130 family and, of course, the A-12 and SR-71

The title is illustrated with over a thousand photographs and drawings and spans 384 pages.

Revell Commemorates DH Sea Vixen’s 70th Anniversary With New Release

Revell is commemorating the 70th Anniversary of the de Havilland Sea Vixen with a model kit release in 1/72 scale.

The Sea Vixen was the aircraft of British naval aviators for 20 years and the first in the world to have its Arrow wings were foldable for use on aircraft carriers. In 1964, the Fleet Air Arm introduced FAW 2, a much-improved version of the Sea Vixen equipped with modern air-to-air missiles.

The offering (03866) is reportedly based on the Cyber Hobby FAW.1 (5051) that was released as a new tool kit in 2011. The new kit represents the FAW.2 and is described as highly detailed with extensive external loads and many details in the cockpit. Two liveries are included: Sea Vixen FAW2, 890NAS, RNAS Yeovilton, England, July 1971; Sea Vixen FAW2, 899NAS, HMS Eagle, November 1970.
