Boeing B-29 Superfortress: The Ultimate Look : from Drawing Board to Vj-day (Schiffer Military History)
Although many books have been published about the B-29, none has been an in-depth look, with most being either superficial pictorials or focusing on the bombing campaigns, particularly the incendiary attacks and atomic bombings. This book, using rare, previously unexplored sources, intends to provide the definitive look at the bomber and crew, detailing every facet for the air enthusiast, historian and modeler. The author was granted rare access to the Pima Air & Space Museum’s restored B-29 “Sentimental Journey” for inspection and photography, resulting in the most extensive photographic documentation of the B-29 ever published. The Pima Museum’s archives, filled with B-29 technical and crew manuals also gave the author extensive information that had not been previously published. These sources, the author’s extensive personal library, and microfilm resources enabled the author to produce this comprehensive look at the bomber and its crew in the context of the bomber’s development and operational use. It is truly monumental in scope, both in words and photos.

Hi-def Video: A380 Lands in Chiang Mai
We were privileged (mainly due to Thai Airways order for a couple of A380s) to be recipients of a visit by the new Airbus A380, the worlds largest airliner. It landed at Chiang Mai airport in part to demonstrate that the A380 can land at secondary airports without difficulty. We went out to a footbridge over Hang Dong road near the airport to watch it land. We waited in the hot sun for a long time while the schedule kept getting pushed back. The A380 had scraped its wing on a hangar door in Bangkok and finally they simply removed the vertical winglet on the wings. Without further ado, heres the hi-def video (taken with my Canon TX-1) of the plane landing: 2:44 Hi-def: MPEG-2, 1280×720, 376 MB Hi-def: WMV, 1280×720, 9.5 Mbps, 153 MB Hi-def: WMV, 1280×720, 3.6 Mbps, 58 MB (While Im sure a videophile could, I cant tell the quality difference between these first three) Lo-Def: MPEG-4, 320×240, 1 Mbps, 22 MB (not recommended) YouTube Play the WMV files in something other than Windows Media Player. For some reason WMP squishes it down to 4:3 instead of properly displaying it at 16:9. (I recommend Media Player Classic.) Here are some pics that my good friend Darren took with his Canon 10D:

Airbus Says Biggest Challenges to Come
CNBC - The delays have also dented Airbus’ reputation and allowed U.S. rival Boeing Co. to sell more planes in 2006. But Boeing announced a six-month delay this week to its hot-selling 787 Dreamliner, leaving the double-decker A380 _ at least temporarily …
