Book Review

Great first with this superb collection of photos listing the 39 second batch C-2A Greyhounds delivered between 1985 and 1990. This landscape book on the C-2 puts photos at their best and presents each aircraft with a selection of one to three never-seen-before photos by the author or his large network. Each unit has a short chapter, and a 'walk-around' type photo album concludes the aircraft presentation. And because Boerries is an avid enthusiast, he has a hawk’s eye, a sense for detail that model makers will love, with stunning colourful liveries and a plethora of interior and exterior photos. Suffice to say that this first try is largely converted on this lesser known aircraft, even if it is so familiar after all these years hitting American flight decks (and occasionally French ones). The R in the designation means Reprocured (for new order) but these planes have also undergone an engine and avionics modernization, particularly with NP2000 eight-bladed propellers, still under the same designation though. You’ll now have to find one of the rare models or conversions to build a perfect Greyhound (1/48 Kinetic, 1/72 RHVP and Falcon conversions, based on Hasegawa or Fujimi’s Hawkeye), with a little work involved! But now, you have THE source for your enterprise! (Sam Prétat - AIF FAN)
