Each book in this series describes an induvidual aircraft. Devolopment and testing are covered as well as its career and the actions, it carried out. Its history is shown by many photographs (most of them b/w, showing detail-images from inside and outside, photographs covering development / testing and cockpit close ups). Reprints from original documents (flight and maintenance manuals), as well as detail drawings give a good impression of the structure and the assembly of the type.
This was one of the first aircraft used as a target drone. This book explains the original concept outlining the need for a remote controlled aircraft and how that concept evolved into the QF-86 program.
