BOYNE, WALTER J. Clash of wings. Air power in World War II.
New York Simon & Schuster 1994 0671793705 / 9780671793708 Hard Cover Very Good in Good dust jacket
415 pages, 16 plates, cloth, dj, very good. From Publishers Weekly: "Boyne, novelist (The Wild Blue) and aviation historian (Silver Wings), here offers a stimulating overview of air power in WW II. While intended primarily for general readers, the account will attract specialists as well. Boyne argues that air power succeeded only when applied on a large scale, and that quality was as important as quantity. The Allies' air forces eventually numbered in the tens of thousands, with aircraft better than almost anything in the Axis arsenals. By 1944, air superiority became the necessary condition for victory in Europe and, by 1945, the decisive element in the Pacific. The author provides some surprising conclusions, among them that the Germans almost won the Battle of Britain."

Boyne, Walter J. Messerschmitt Me 262. Arrow to the Future.
Washington, DC, Smithsonian Institution 1980 0874742765 / 9780874742763 Hardcover Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
198 pages, well illustrated (some in color) , cutaway, cloth, DJ, 8 by 10 inches, very good. From the dust jacket: Behind the Me 262's combat career is a fascinating chain of events in which planning, luck, and even blind stupidity played important roles. Even by today's engineering standards, magnificent is the only word to describe the effort to bring the plane's jet engines, which eclipsed the performance of all contemporary aircraft, from the laboratory to production in an amazingly short time. Messerschmitt Me 262 also tells the story of the people who flew the Me 262 in combat. Their complete accounts bring their missions to life and set the plane in the historical context of the war. The German narratives are complemented by the accounts of Americans who flew against the Me 262 - for instance, the team of crack USAAF pilots known as 'Watson's Whizzers, ' who literally stole a fleet of jet aircraft from German airfields at the end of the war.

WEIR, GARY E. and, BOYNE, WALTER J. Rising Tide : The Untold Story of the Russian Submarines That Fought the Cold War
Basic Books 2003 0465091121 / 9780465091126 First Edition Hard Cover Very Good in Good dust jacket
354 pages, 8 plates, cloth, dj, very good. 1st edition. From the Publisher: Throughout the Cold War, Soviet submariners patrolled the world's oceans, playing a deadly game of cat-and-mouse with their American counterparts in a silent struggle hundreds of feet below the surface. Rising Tide tells the Soviet side of these secretive operations. Drawing on newly available archives, as well as interviews with a dozen former Soviet commanders - access never before granted to Western researchers - this narrative shows that confrontations between nuclear-armed subs were far more dangerous than we ever thought.With sixteen pages of never-before-seen photos, Rising Tide recounts successful Soviet operations, including top secret exercises off the American coast, and espionage coups, such as the spy-ship that monitored American missile tests off the Florida coast and collected the debris in full view of the US Navy. All too common were the near-misses, heroic rescues, and deadly catastrophes that plagued Soviet submarines over the years, including the horrific nuclear accident on board the ill-fated K-19, later nicknamed the "Hiroshima"; the internal fire that sank the K-8 in 1970 with twenty-two sailors on board, and the dramatic escape of crewmembers from the Komsomolets in 1989, as narrated by a survivor.

Boyne, Walter J The Aircraft Treasures of Silver Hill: the Behind-The-Scenes Workshop of Our Nation's Air Museums
New York Rawson Associates 1982 0892562161 / 9780892562169 First Edition Hardcover Very Good in Good dust jacket
Viii, 248 pages, well illustrated, cloth, DJ, very good. 7 by 10 inches. From the Amazon website review by CPT Matt: "Before there was the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center, (Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum) there was Silver Hill. Walter Boyne, one time Director of the NASM, happens also to be a pilot and an excellent writer of all things aviation. Although some aircraft are discussed, this is much more the story of how the Smithsonian went from national disgrace, neglecting their collection of planes & priceless memorabilia to the safe keeping of these treasures. Much of it literally rotted away exposed to the elements in Silver Hill Maryland. Once funding was provided, a small group of dedicated restoration experts begin to fix, repair & restore the birds to museum quality displays. Silver Hill was the storage place for exhibits too large to be displayed in the Washington DC Smithsonian. Once, it was open to the public, now you go to the Steven F. Udvar-Hazy Center near Dulles to see the planes. It is an absolutely amazing collection of all things of flight from the Wright Brothers to Space. This book is dated, but still very enjoyable. All of the photos are B&W, some not so clear, and there is a short history of the planes and how they came to be in the museum's collection. Not all of the planes are covered; many that have been restored now were still in crates back in 1982. The samplings include many Biplanes, civilian craft, a few of the oddities of aviation history - in short, a cross section. Reading this book will give you an insider's look at the thousands of man hours that go into restoration, the odd ball characters who do this work, the love shared by all for these planes. That work still continues to this day, albeit in much nicer, safer digs. This book is a tribute to the collectors and restorers, a history of the NASM, well written a good, quick read. Recommended for all aviation lovers, collectors, buffs."
