The Albatross was the premier fixed-wing rescue aircraft for the U.S. Air Force and Coast Guard. Its very colorful history begins in 1946 and spans nearly a quarter of a century; including service with twenty-two foreign nations. With a total of 466 built by Grumman; more than eighty examples still thrive on the civil register. The Albatross also saw extensive service in the Korean and Vietnam wars. The fascinating history of this unique aircraft is complemented by over 200 photographs including many in color showing the great variations in color schemes and markings.

Five StarsBy Darren KoonsExcellent book that gives you a great idea of how a typical Union soldier ate and was outfitted.3 of 3 people found the following review helpful. Great Little BoohBy Mark B. RichardsonFor those who have been reenactors for years; and for those who are just getting started; this book is for you. Use it as an informative guide for new recruits to your Civil War Federal unit. This book is a very practical guide you can use to not bother taking with you all the "stuff" you don't need into the field. Learn to take just what the soldiers took with them; and make your reenacting experience more realistic. Well done!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Good; Not GreatBy KJAGVery good photos; diagrams; and descriptions. Basic; would have liked it to be more in-depth considering some other weapons; uniforms; etc.; were also relatively common.
