The third release in a new series of reference CDs by Aero Research of Reno Nevada is of the assorted aircraft used for air drops on fires or for spotting purposes. These aircraft are predominantly what are classified as large, or heavy air tankers, and most are now retired or have been grounded by new airworthiness rules.

This CD contains 154 photos of 29 different types of aircraft ranging from the A-26, B-17, B-18!!!, PBY, CL-215, DC-7, P-2, TBM among others. Each image is 6000 pixels wide and around 3700 high and will print out nicely on a photo printer if so desired.

The cost is $11.95 USD, plus Shipping: $2.00 in the USA, $2.50 to Canada and Mexico, and $4.00 Airmail for the rest of the world. There is no website as of yet (it is coming), but they may be contacted at aeroresmodel@aol.com

My thanks to Aero Research for the review copy.
