Notes: CD-ROM, Catalogue # 3006

The renewal of unlimited aircraft racing in the mid 1960s resulted in many of the racers of the years before being brought out of hangars, upgraded and put into the sky. During these times, the various races would hold spectators attentions with a bevy of ex-WWII piston powered aircraft; some still looking quite stock while others were heavily modified.

If you like warbirds or racers, then this is a CD for you. There are 258 images covering 651 megabytes of your favorites from Bearcats to Sea Furyies with a myriad of Mustang and other types, making this the most image intensive CD yet developed by Aero Research. The CD is formatted to show you the planes that ran year by year so you can see what, if any, changes were made to the planes from year to year. Often there are images of both sides of the plane as well as some of the aircraft in flight. 

Like the other CD's these are overall portraits of these planes with image quality generally very good, though you can understand why a few would be less than perfect due to flight movement.

I know I liked it and I am equally sure that you will as well.

You can get more information by e-mailing AeroResearch@Charter.net as they have not yet established a web site. You can order via credit card by phoning them at (775) 746-8615. Thanks to Aero Research for the review CD.
