A collection of issues of Airpower, a flagship publication from Sentry Magazine that reigned as one of America's premier aviation periodicals throughout the 1970s, this set of six issues spans from January 1973 through November 1973 and represents the golden age of enthusiast aviation journalism. Each issue chronicles the heroic stories, technological marvels, and pivotal battles that defined military aviation history, covering subjects as diverse as Hap Arnold's greatest strategic gamble, the C-46 Curtiss Commando, the B-26 Marauder, and exclusive test pilot accounts of flying the legendary Lockheed P-38 Lightning. Airpower was celebrated for its meticulous research, stunning photographic spreads — including rare exclusive colour photography — and authoritative interviews with the very pilots and engineers who shaped the skies of the 20th century. Each volume presents a rich tapestry of subjects ranging from Northrop's golden age aircraft designs and the Mystery Zeppelins to combat patrol in the Lockheed PV-2 Harpoon and Hollywood's portrayal of aerial aces, offering both the seasoned aviation historian and the curious newcomer an unparalleled window into the machines and men who conquered the air. Who were the unsung figures behind aviation's most daring chapters — and what secrets do these pages still hold?
