After 16 photographs one typescript page inserted "News Conference Personnel" followed by 3 photographs of the news conference. Laid-in a xerox extract of a column by Fred H. De Jong supporting the aircraft's development & use original publication source not identified. 19 glossy b/w still photographs 8-1/2" x 11" <br/><br/>The F-111 Aardvark was an "American supersonic medium-range interdictor and tactical attack aircraft that also filled the roles of strategic nuclear bomber aerial reconnaissance and electronic-warfare aircraft in its various versions. The word 'aardvark' is Afrikaan for 'earthpig' and reflects the look of the long nose of the aircraft that might remind one of the nose of the aardvark. Developed in the 1960s by General Dynamics it entered service in 1967 with the United States Air Force. <br /> <br />The F-111 pioneered several technologies for production aircraft including variable-sweep wings afterburning turbofan engines and automated terrain-following radar for low-level high-speed flight. Its design influenced later variable-sweep wing aircraft and some of its advanced features have since become commonplace." Wiki <br /> <br />While the US transitioned to other aircraft in the late '90s the F-111 continued in service with the RAAF until December 2010. <br /> <br />As Mr. Cosby's introductory note states "These photographs portray the sequence of events of 21 December 1964." No doubt only a limited number of these binders were made mostly likely for visiting dignitaries which makes this a rare promotional photodocumentary of the F-111A's first flight. <br /> <br />At the time of cataloguing we find no copies elsewhere in the market nor listed on OCLC.

The aircraft employed Pratt & Whitney R-2000-2SD13-G Twin Wasp 14-cylinder air-cooled radial piston engines which each developed 1450 HP for take-off. The DC-4/C-54 proved a popular and reliable type 1245 being built between May 1942 and August 1947 including 79 postwar DC-4s. As the brochure begins "In these pages Douglas presents its latest and finest commerical air transport the world-famous DC-4. . From nose to tail the DC-4 is modern efficient pacemaking. New comfort speed and safety for 42 passengers and a crew of five the new 'Tri-Safety' landing gear and new standards of engineering and craftsmanship make the DC-4 the outstanding airplane of its time." And in fact the airframe continues in service today with a dozen or so active around the globe. Wiki Essig Co., Ltd unknown books
