Aero Research has released this nice monograph covering the Douglas A3D/A-3 Skywarrior. This is Douglas' carrier-based strategic bomber that later transformed into a variety of reconnaissance, electronic warfare, and tanker variants as well as combinations thereof.

This disc contains 188 high resolution images of the aircraft sorted by model type and tail number. This disc has numerous examples of the A3D-1/A-3A, A3D-2/A-3B, EA-3B, EKA-3B, ERA-3B, ETA-3B, KA-3B, NA-3A, NA-3B, NRA-3B, NTA-3B, RA-3B, TA-3B, UA-3B, and VA-3B variants. For the modeler, you'll see lots of good details and color information for tackling the Trumpeter 1/48 Skywarrior kits as well as the variety of conversions produced for the kits.

This is a nice selection of imagery that you won't find available in such clarity and size. This title is recommended!

You can purchase this reference or any of their other photo CDs directly from their website www.aeroresearchcds.com or via email AeroResearch@Charter.net.

My sincere thanks to Aero Research for this review sample!
