Dennis Jenkins has previously written among several books,
Magnesium Overcast, The Story of the Convair B-36 and in their research
and collection of photos, diagrams, and miscellaneous charts etc they
acquired much more than could be used in Magnesium Overcast. The end
result came out again in the historians and modeler’s favor with another
fine book on the B-36. This book is printed on high quality glossy paper
stock with card covers. In the One Hundred Eight pages there are over
Three Hundred very sharp b/w and seventy-four color photos with amazing
detail of the many configurations that the B-36 ended up in. There also
dozens of great drawings of various components of the aircraft. Very
interesting is the series of photos of the damage done by a tornado on
Labor Day 1 September 1952 to the aircraft at Carswell AFB. There is very
little text other than the introduction and the captions vary from short
to in-depth detail. If a modeler wanted to open up the 1/72nd Monogram Kit
and detail it inside and out this is the book to aid your endeavors. There
are several pictures included of the various experiments of the Tom-Tom,
FICONs, XC-99, NB-36H and the conversion to a YB-60. The B-36 Photo Scrapbook can be obtained for $16.95 directly from Specialty Press by calling 1-800-895-4585 or by visiting www.specialtypress.com. A $4.95 shipping and handling charge is added to each order. My thanks to Karin Hill at Specialty press, IPMS/USA and John Noack for the review copy. |
