Synopsis
The photos in this edition are black and white. In 1943 the Lockheed Model 49 Constellation was the fastest and most modern airliner in the world. They were purchased by the USAAC as C-69s and in 1948 the larger more capable Model 749 was purchased as the C-121A. This early Naval Fighters Series volume first published in 1983 covers the USAAC/USAF C-121A, the Navy PO-1W/WV-1 AEW version of the Model 749 from 1949, the stretched Model 1049 Navy transport R7O-1/R7V-1 from 1952, the Air Force Model 1049 versions C-121C/EC-121S/C-121G/AC-121/EC-121R, Navy WV-2/EC-121K AEW and Air Force EC-121C/EC-121D AEW platforms, and the experimental WV-2E/EC-121L AEW aircraft and the turbo-prop R7V-2/YC-121F transport. Book includes brief Navy squadron histories, detail drawings, and essays on flying the Connie, Vietnam, College Eye/Big Eye, 552nd AEW, Bat Cat and AEWBARRONPAC.

  • Lockheed C-121 Constellation

    Most of my life I have collected books devoted to the histories of single military aircraft types. This book thoroughly covers all the units that used both the Air Force and Navy versions. It also mentions on several pages, its use in Vietnam. It's involvement during the conflicts with China were briefly touched on. I was disappointed, tho, that the North Korean shootdown of the EC-121M was barely mentioned, and there was no mention of the C/EC-121's involvement in the Cold War. Overall, I'm happy with the book.

  • Excellent source of markings and colors of subject aircraft

    all pros for model building an accurate display model. Many good pictures showing markings of subject aircraft and what timeframe in history.
