Reseña del libro "Fairchild C-123 Provider: Technical Data and Complete Service Histories (en Inglés)"

The Fairchild C-123 Provider was one of the last piston-engined era cargo transport aircraft delivered to the United States Armed Forces. Its late entry during a time of rapid turboprop and jet aircraft development seemed to promise it a short service life. Yet during the Vietnam War, the C-123 carved an unforgettable place for itself in USAF history, performing essential tactical and paratroop logistics, clandestine missions and an infamous role in Operation Ranch Hand aerial spraying.After Vietnam, significant numbers of the Provider were supplied to foreign air forces, and the aircraft saw ongoing service with the USAF Reserve up to 1986. Although it had a limited civilian career, the C-123 is remembered today for its association with numerous Hollywood motion pictures, its involvement with drug smuggler turned DEA operative Barry Seal and covert use in what became known as the Iran-Contra Affair. This first-of-its-kind book has the complete service histories of all 307 C-123 airframes built, including additional histories on the Chase glider types which led to the final C-123 design. Full, cross-referenced production lists are supported by tables, multiple appendices and over 130 photos detailing combat losses, accidents and surviving aircraft.
