The Incredible Journey of Indian AWACS

摘要

I have not seen an aeronautical book quite like this before - certainly not in India - where the technical story of aircraft projects, deals as much with their problems and difficulties as with the ingenious solutions the engineers found, and as much with failure as with success. The first author, Dr K Ramchand, the pioneer in India in the design and development of early warning surveillance aircraft, and his two co-authors, colleague and airworthiness expert S Krishnasamy and science journalist B R Srikanth with a passion for writing on aerospace, have produced a book that is as attractive as it is illuminating.
