THOMASON, AUTHOR OF STRIKE FROM THE SEA: U.S. NAVY ATTACK AIRCRAFT FROM SKYRAIDER TO SUPER HORNET 1948-PRESENT The Patuxent River Naval Air Museum is pleased to announce its fifth "Flight Test Tech Talk" public program: a lecture and book signing by author Tommy H. Thomason on Friday, November 20, 2009, from 4:30 to 7:00 p.m.

Mr. Thomason will present and discuss his new book Strike From The Sea: U.S. Navy Attack Aircraft From Skyraider to Super Hornet 1948-Present, published by Specialty Press. Thomason's Strike From The Sea is a companion work to his book U.S. Naval Air Superiority: Development of Shipborne Jet Fighters 1943-1962, which was the subject of his appearance and presentation at the Museum in April 2008. Strike From The Sea: U.S. Navy Attack Aircraft From Skyraider to Super Hornet 1948-Present is a comprehensive history of carrier-based naval attack aircraft, tracing their evolution from 300-mph prop-era airplanes to advanced jets. Legendary Navy aircraft such as the AD Skyraider, the A4D Skyhawk, the A3J Vigilante, the A-6 Intruder, and the F/A-18E/F Super Hornet are surveyed in-depth, with investigations of the technologies and doctrines employed for the specialized combat role of air-to-ground attack. The book features stunning photographs of attack aircraft and aircraft carrier operations.

Tommy H. Thomason has worked as a flight test engineer, manager, and executive in the aerospace industry for almost 40 years, including two years as a flight test engineer on the F-4 Phantom. He has flown more than 3,000 hours in 60 different airplanes, helicopters, and sailplanes. His previous works include the book U.S. Naval Air Superiority and monographs on the Grumman F-111B and the Bell HSL antisubmarine warfare helicopter. This event is free and open to the public.

Please RSVP to Tom Quinlan at director@paxmuseum.com or 301-863-7418. Seating is not reserved: it is available on a first-come, first-serve basis (standing room only attendance is permitted).
