Chance Vought V-173 and XF5U-1 Flying Pancakes

This book was created from manu­scripts written by and provided by Art Schoeni public affairs official for Vought from 1953 to 1978. These writings have been published in; Aeroplane Monthly (Nov. & Dec. 1975), Air Classics (Vol. 11/8 Aug. 1975), and Historical Aviation Album (Vol. VIII). Two other good references on the Pancakes are Aeroplanes Vought by G. Moran and Air Enthusi­ast (Vol. 4/6 June 1973). The other major contributor to this book was Tommy Thomason who provided a modern view of the program and the kit reviews. The V-173 drawings were provided by Ed Clendenin of Eagle Talon models.
