History/Military Sky Truck 2
Posted on 2010-03-16

More Sky Truck 2 (Aero Colour) By S. Piercey Back in 1980s, large propeller-driven aircraft were either simply old beasts of burden, relegated to flying local cargo routes in remote locations, or piles of unwanted aluminum rotting away at some aircraft boneyard. Fans with more than a little interest in these relics were part of an elite group. Foremost among them was Stephen Piercey, whose passion for these venerable birds took him to all corners of the world. Sad to say, Mr. Piercey, at age 27, died in an air crash photographing yet another skytruck. The editors at Osprey have collected a group of Mr. Piercey's superb photos that were not included in the original volume and published this sequel in his honor (as the title bears his and only his name). Like the first Sky Truck book, this beautiful volume is part of his legacy, a treat to today's fans of the wonderful old planes he loved so much. These spectacular pictures (though some are marred by their placement over the book centerfold) are accompanied by interesting and amusing captions that also try to reflect the humor for which Stephen Piercey is fondly remembered. Stephen Piercey, son of pilot and author Ray Piercey, documented propeller-driven aircraft at a time when most warbirds were sleek fighters, not lumbering transports with four thirsty and leaky radials. Interest in these larger aircraft is a comparatively recent phenomenon. Most of his photos are in Latin American countries such as Bolivia and Colombia; however, examples as far afield as India, several Caribbean islands, and northern Canada are included. Stephen Piercey's photographs are breathtaking, portraying not only these venerable aircraft, but also cultures and life-styles in countries most Westerners know little about. Furthermore, many of these pictures are rare, as the aircraft depicted have since crashed or been scrapped, including a very rare shot of the world's last Boeing Stratocruiser shortly before she, too, fell to the scrapper's torch. A C-121, however, was luckier. The hulk shown in this book has been miraculously transformed into the shiny gem known as Columbine II. Two photos not taken by the author are included as tributes: one of Vickers Viscount G-APIM, renamed Viscount Stephen Piercey, and a window view from a Lockheed Constellation showing its Wright Turbo-Compounds a turning. Like the first volume, this beautiful book is a tribute to both Piercey and those wonderful old soldiers, a great addition to any aviation enthusiast's bookshelf.
