F-100 Super Sabre at War

From the Publisher

Flying Models, September 2007

“A celebration of this truly remarkable fighter, this book highlights many firsts in a long and distinguished career … In authoritative text and pictures, technical drawings, profiles and photographs, Tom Gardner details the aircraft’s every variation, her weaponry, and equipment. The newest edition to the popular ‘At War’ series, this book serves as a fitting tribute to the fighter nicknamed ‘Hundart’ or more affectionately, ‘The Hun’ – an aircraft loved by nearly everyone who flew or tended her and respected by all.”

IPMS Journal, September 2007

“It's been said that timing is everything. Coming on the heels of Trumpeter's just-released F-100D in 1/32nd scale, timing in this case could not have been better, offering yet another reference source for the modeler … in the appendix section, you'll find full aircraft specifications and dimensions along with an excellent set of aircraft line drawings in the modelers section … if you're a fan of the Super Sabre, you'll want to add this publication to your personal library. In this writer's opinion, it's well worth the price just to have the drawings.”

Military Heritage, December 2007

“Zenith Press has just published their most recent entry in the ‘At War’ series profiling various military units, equipment and ships. The F-100 Super Sabre is an excellent choice for the series … Thomas Gardner, a mechanical engineer, has written a most comprehensive book on the aircraft. He examines every detail of the plane, including its engine, afterburner, landing gear, fuel system and cockpit. No part of the aircraft is left untouched. In addition, detailed drawings and illustrations plot the jet’s performance, and a chronological chart follows important dates in the design, manufacture, and final retirement of the world’s first jet fighter.”
                   

Internet Modeler, November 2007

“This title in the new At War series examines the history of this famous fighter, from its development to its operational record ... The chapter on the development of the F-100 covers this nicely, and provides a great insight as to how aircraft came to be during the 1950s … For a single reference on the F-100, this book does an excellent job of covering all aspects of the Super Sabre. In addition to the nicely written text, the book is filled with photos and drawings, providing plenty of inspiration and reference for the modeler. Many of the drawings come from the Tech Orders for the F-100 and provide information not often seen in other books. With the recent Trumpeter 1/32 F-100 kit out, this is a timely release and recommended for those interested in early supersonic jets.”
