Aircraft of the United States’ Military Air Transport Service By: Nicholas M Williams

Formed at the start of the ‘Cold War’ era, the Military Air Transport Service sprung out of the newly-created USAF to serve the US Military around the world. From the Berlin Airlift to Vietnam, MATS crews and aircraft were found in every global ‘hot spot’. This book not only provides the history of the Service, it also delivers an in-depth look at each type of aircraft MATS operated. From the C-47 to the C-133, the OA-10 to the U-2, this superb volume contains a dynamic collection of high quality, large format photographs of MATS global air power.
