Technical Order (TO) 1-1A-1 is one of a series of manuals prepared to assist personnel engaged in the general maintenance and repair of military aircraft. This manual covers general aircraft structural repair. This is a Joint-Service manual and some information may be directed at one branch of the service and not the other. Wherever the text of the manual refers to Air Force technical orders for supportive information, refer to the comparable Navy documents (see Table 1). The satisfactory performance of aircraft requires continuous attention to maintenance and repair to maintain aircraft structural integrity. Improper maintenance and repair techniques can pose an immediate and potential danger. The reliability of aircraft depends on the quality of the design, as well as the workmanship used in making the repairs. It is important that maintenance and repair operations be made according to the best available techniques to eliminate, or at least minimize, possible failures.
From adagio to voyage, over 800 steps, movements, poses, and concepts are fully defined. A pronunciation guide and cross-references to alternate names for similar steps and positions also included.
Meticulous research and painstaking attention to detail have gone into these multiangle views and cutaways. Skydiver, the futuristic gull-wing cars, the SHADO interceptors, the Space Intruder Detector, and installations such as SHADO's Moonbase complex have never looked so exciting or so realistic. Nick Foreman's CGI illustrations--the first time this technique has been used in an official Gerry Anderson book--are accompanied by detailed notes on design, specification, and performance. Following in the footsteps of "The Complete Book of Gerry Anderson's UFO," this book will be a must-have purchase for all true Anderson fans.
