SS10231 C-17 GLOBEMASTER III IN ACTION (Paperback)
by Bill Norton.

Boeing’s versatile C-17 Globemaster III combines strategic and
tactical airlift into one wide-body aircraft capable of short
takeoff and landing from unpaved fields. The giant, four-engine
cargo jet has become more and more prominent in representing the
United States worldwide. Whether carrying the President,
paratroopers, casualties, or vital materiel, or when performing
airdrop or assault landings, the C-17 is the image of current
aerospace technology and power projection. This richly
illustrated, all-color, monograph highlights every aspect of the
Globemaster design and mission execution through all theaters of
American involvement in both wartime and peacetime. All U.S. and
foreign operators are discussed and portrayed in photographs.
Combat operations, disaster relief, upgrades, and production are
all described in word and image. This volume is a must for anyone
interested in one of the very latest military aircraft that has
made an essential contribution in recent conflicts and is looking
forward to decades more of exciting service. Illustrated with
220 photographs and detailed line drawings. 80 pages.
