Wolf, WilliamSKYHOOKERS: An Illustrated History of Hook-on Aircraft and Their Dirigible Motherships Details how Zeppelins and large bombers were vulnerable to fast, maneuverable interceptors -- and to combat this, a solution was the use of Composite aircraft, where larger bombers carried smaller short-range fighters which could be launched and retrieved as needed. Analyzes how the Germans briefly experimented with carrying parasite aircraft, while the British conducted post-war trials, and the US Navy and Army further developed this concept. The US perfected the carry/launch/retrieval method for airship defense and scouting, notably with the USS Los Angeles. Contains 175 mono illustrations.1 vol, 200 pgs 2026 UK, AIR WORLD NEW-dj, available mid January 2026 ......$50.00 discount: :15% rct ..see our AVIATION
