F-102 Delta Dagger in Detail \u0026amp; Scale continues the series focus on specific details of every aspect of this historic aircraft, but it includes so much more. It begins with a look at the developmental history of the F-102, usually just referred to as the Deuce.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eBased on the experimental design of the XF-92A, the first true delta-winged aircraft to fly, the Deuce was expected to be capable of supersonic flight and operational by 1954.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eIn fact, the first prototype didnt fly until 1953, and it could not achieve supersonic flight. It lasted only seven flights before being written off in a crash. The full history of how the design evolved to meet the operational requirements is discussed, and this includes how it became known as the interim interceptor that eventually led to the ultimate interceptor, the F-106, and how it was produced in much higher numbers than the aircraft that replaced it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eA chapter covers the development of the missiles carried by the F-102, which is a significant story in itself, and information is provided about the 2.75-inch rockets and every version of the Falcon guided missile that armed the aircraft over its operational career. Each variant of the F-102 is then covered, with separate sections for the prototypes, the single-seat F-102A, and the two-seat version, the TF-102A.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eA comprehensive report by a pilot who flew the F-102 provides an in-depth look at every day flight operations. Next is a chapter on the little-understood role of the F-102 in Southeast Asia, where the aircraft did not have a major part to play, but was still part of the American force structure there for almost a decade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThe aircraft details chapter, long the hallmark of the Detail \u0026amp; Scale Series, provides detailed coverage of the cockpit, radar and electronics details, windscreen \u0026amp; canopy, fuselage, weapons bays, wings, landing gear, and tail of the aircraft, and contains more than 145 photos, mostly in color, that illustrate every aspect of both operational variants of the F-102.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eAnother chapter covers the conversion of many F-102s to the drone configuration under the Pave Deuce program, resulting in the first supersonic target drone used by the United States. Finally, as with all books in the Detail \u0026amp; Scale Series, a detailed look at all of the scale model kits that have been released of the F-102 Delta Dagger is presented.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eIt covers kits from the 1950s up to the 2017 Revell F-102A release.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: left;\"\u003eThis print version has almost all of the content of the digital version, with only the photo gallery chapter and several pilot vignettes having been removed to meet print size limitations.
