The Airmobility Workhorse: The first fifty-five years of C-130 operations

The Airmobility Workhorse, focuses on the operational history of the Lockheed C-130 Hercules in Royal Australian (RAAF) service, spanning the A, E and H models from 1958 to 2012, leaving the J model to be covered in the future. The C-130 was the catalyst for a transformational shift from Second World War technology to leading-edge aircraft systems in RAAF air mobility and in the broader Air Force. It is a detailed and balanced reflection of what the mighty Hercules did for Australia and how it affected who flew it, fixed it, supported it, flew as passengers or benefitted from the missions it conducted. This aricraft was truly Australias Airmobility Workhorse. —- ISBN: 9781923300095 | ISBN10: 1923300091 | ISBN-13: 978-1923300095
