American Secret Projects 3 Review: Airlifters Is a Misnomer, Absolutely Incredible Volume - The title of this book is very misleading. Along the way to 2008 where the book effectively ends, the authors cover the conventional airlifters, but provide an incredible inventory of the esoteric, the evolutionary dead-ends and the purely experimental. While the programs leading to the airlifters like the C-130J and the C-5 covered, the authors ventured further afield into areas such as ICBM Carriers and Carrier Onboard Delivery along with the on again, off again fits and starts of various programs of small battlefield tactical airlifters, V/STOL, nuclear powered and ultra-heavy airlift. Frankly, there is so much information that it literally took nine months to work through this book. There's a few technical issues with the book, such as on page 255 the specifications block for the Tri-engine C-XX lists four engines. And as is the bane of many others, the available specifications differ in what was listed making a direct apples to apples comparison difficult at best. None of this detracts from the overall quality of the book itself and it is magnificent addition to the "Secret Projects" series. I cannot recommend this book for a casual modeler. For a scratch-builder this book could indeed provide a fertile field for some rather outrageous builds. Overall? A conditional recommendation for skilled modelers looking to do an unconventional subject. Unequivocally and strongly recommended for anyone interested in a full history of US Tri-Service airlift and cargo aircraft since 1962 including the evolutionary dead ends. Review: Great book on an obscure subject. - A wonderful book for those of us interested in aircraft evolution and development. Excellent illustrations throughout. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #1,702,875 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #125 in Transportation Reference (Books) #2,615 in Military Aviation History (Books) #10,452 in American Military History | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (106) | | Dimensions | 8.4 x 1 x 11 inches | | Edition | 9781st ed. | | ISBN-10 | 1910809330 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1910809334 | | Item Weight | 2.31 pounds | | Language | English | | Print length | 360 pages | | Publication date | April 30, 2020 | | Publisher | Crecy Publishing Ltd | ## Images ![American Secret Projects 3 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71RFnjSPSjL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Airlifters Is a Misnomer, Absolutely Incredible Volume *by J***L on April 4, 2021* The title of this book is very misleading.

Excellent illustrations throughout. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great addition to the Secret Projects series *by J***P on June 6, 2020* I own numerous Secret Projects titles and am particularly impressed by this one. It seems like the longest in the series, with lots of information and illustrations and covers a huge breadth of projects and proposals, most of which are new to me and are certainly not covered anywhere else. The discussion of each project left me wanting more but that's a function of the book's scope. If you're at all interested in the topic, this is a fascinating read. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/148704483-american-secret-projects-3](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/148704483-american-secret-projects-3) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-06-03*
