Do you remember the smoke and thunder of the first generation USAF
aircraft? Sentimental Wings takes a look at the aircraft which
helped set the pace of the future during the period of the Cold
War up to the final days of the Kremlin.
This exciting Microsoft Windows compatible disc contains a text and
image viewer which brings these forgotten birds back to life. You
get dramatic, full color, 24-bit digital images.
Each aircraft is described along with performance data and hefty
amounts of historical fact surrounding their initial development and
production.
Nearly all the images on this disc are new, previously unreleased
photos taken by long time aviation buff Fred Lloyd. These photos
have not appeared on any BBS or computer network.
Fred takes you on a tour of several historic warbird sites. A
highlight is the world famous Davis Monthan AFB, where the US Air
Force has stored literally thousands of aircraft, both obsolete and
operational.
You'll see pictures of such classics as the P-51 Mustang, the P-40
Warhawk, the F-1xx series including the F-100, the F-101, F-102,
F-104, F-105 and F-106, the mighty Phantom F-4's, the once secret
SR-71 Blackbird, U-2 Spyplanes, the B-47, B-52, and B-58 Hustler, and
many others.
Sentimental Wings will also take you on a rare, first hand tour of
the inside of a B-29 Superfortress, the famous type which dropped the
world's first atomic bomb. You'll get a captain's eye view of the
entire cockpit, bombardier and radio-man's positions of a recently
restored museum centerpiece.
You get all images in GIF, TIFF, JPEG and BMP formats for multi-
system compatibility. Macintosh and DOS users also get image viewers
for their machines.
Minimum system requirements: Microsoft Windows 3.1, 256 Color VGA
display (1MB SVGA video adaptor recommended).
