<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nHere are my 5 recommended books.
Let\u2019s get started!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1# Twin Mustang: The North American F-82 at War by Alan C. Carey<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"Twin](\"https:\/\/nuclearcompanion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/twin-mustang-the-north-american-f-82-at-war-alan-c-carey-cover01-1024x986.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nBook Details<\/strong>
Pages: 128
Author: Alan C. Carey
Publisher: Pen & Sword
Year: 2014<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nCurrently, the “book” on the F-82 Twin Mustang is Alan Carey’s Twin Mustang: North American F-82 at War<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\nIt packs a lot of text and black-and-white images on its 130 pages. And Ellsberg does spend a reasonable amount of space to unmask the Twin Mustang from its development to its participation in Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n![\"Twin](\"https:\/\/nuclearcompanion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/twin-mustang-the-north-american-f-82-at-war-alan-c-carey-content-1024x1021.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nIn addition, the appendices at the end provide useful reference information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In conclusion, every Twin Mustang fan needs to read this book. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nBook Details<\/strong>
Pages: 128 Author: David R. McLaren
Publisher: Vip Aero Pub Year: 1996<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nThis book was a surprise for me and I enjoyed it immensely. McLaren greatly helped me realize just what a great aircraft the Twin Mustang was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
This book is an excellent companion to Alan Carey’s book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
But, It has its shortcomings. It has some awesome drawings at the end that are difficult to read or use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The content of the book is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Introduction<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Chapter One – Program Inception<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Chapter Two – On Long Range Escort<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Chapter Three – Twin Mustang for Defense<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Chapter four – Over the Artic – The F-82 in Alaska<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Chapter Five – In Korean Skies<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Appendix A – Drawings and Three Views<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Appendix B – Supplementary Airframe data \/ Serial Numbers <\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Appendix C – USAF’s P-82 utilized in the Korean War \/ F-82 Assigned to operational Units<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Appendix D – Bibliography<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Appendix E – The F-82’s Combat Performance<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
Great book for aviation buffs! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n3# F-82 Twin Mustang (Mini in Action No. 8) by Larry Davis<\/h2>\n\n\n\n![\"F-82](\"https:\/\/nuclearcompanion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/f-82-twin-mustang-mini-in-action-larryddavis-cover01-1024x981.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nBook Details<\/strong>
Pages: 50 Author: Larry Davis
Publisher: Squadron\/Signal Year: 1996<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nThe small size of this volume (about 5×7 inches) took me by surprise. You can see its size compared to a mug in the above picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This book is part of the “Mini in Action” short series from Squadron\/Signal Publications published in the 1990s. It is a shrunken version of the “In Action” Series from the same publisher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Squadron books are recognized as very useful for modeling and artwork as a reference.<\/p>\n\n\n
\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/nuclearcompanion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/f-82-twin-mustang-mini-in-action-larryddavis-image03-1024x790.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nSo, in spite of its page size, the Mini shares many of the characteristics of its bigger brother like line drawings, 2 pages of color drawings and good photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While it is a pity that Squadron only made a mini and not a large size from the Twin Mustang, with only 50 pages, it is a short read but a very comprehensive and well-written booklet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
A neat little book everyone interested in Twin Mustang should have in their collection. Highly recommended. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n4# Encyclopedia of U.S. Air Force Aircraft and Missile Systems (Volume I) by Marcelle Size Knaak<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Book Details<\/strong>
Pages: 358 Author: Marcelle Size Knaak
Publisher: Office of Air Force History Year: 1978<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\nThis is not a Twing Mustang exclusive book, but if you are interested in a reference book it will be a great addition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Marcelle Size Knaak’s book is the first of a multi-volume encyclopedia. The first volume is about US fighter aircraft between 1945 and 1973. It starts with the F-80 Shooting Star and ends with the development of the F-15 Eagle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, the F-82 Twin Mustang has its own section in this book:<\/p>\n\n\n\n![\"\"](\"https:\/\/nuclearcompanion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/11\/Twin-Mustang-Enciclopedia-content.png\")
<\/figure>\n\n\n\nIt has a lot of numbers and dates. Studiously accurate but tedious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nFrom Amazon, I bought two manuals of the Twin Mustang:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- F-82 Twin Mustang Pilot’s Flight Operations Instructions<\/em> printed by PeriscopeFilm.com<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Pilot’s Manual for F-82 Twin Mustang<\/em> printed in 1974 by Aviation Publications.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n
It resulted that both were manuals from the F-82E:<\/p>\n\n\n
\n![\"F-82E](\"https:\/\/nuclearcompanion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/f-82-twin-mustang-manuals-image01-1024x768.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nI can not recommend PeriscopeFilm’s version as its printing is blurred. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
The content from both manuals is the same:<\/p>\n\n\n
\n![\"F-82E](\"https:\/\/nuclearcompanion.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/12\/f-82-twin-mustang-manuals-table-of-contents-768x1024.jpg\")
<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nIf you like all this stuff, I recommend you buy the Aviation Publications’s manual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In addition, I could buy and download the following digitalized manuals online:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\n- Pilot’s Handbook of Flight Operating Instructions for XP-82 and P-82B (Revised 15 October 1946)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Handbook Flight Operating Instructions USAF Series F-82F, F-82G and F-82H Aircraft (Revised 21 May 1951)<\/li>\n\n\n\n
- Handbook Flight Operating Instructions USAF Model F-82E (P-82E) Aircraft (15 October 1948)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\nBook Details<\/strong> Currently, the “book” on the F-82 Twin Mustang is Alan Carey’s Twin Mustang: North American F-82 at War<\/em>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It packs a lot of text and black-and-white images on its 130 pages. And Ellsberg does spend a reasonable amount of space to unmask the Twin Mustang from its development to its participation in Korea.<\/p>\n\n\n In addition, the appendices at the end provide useful reference information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In conclusion, every Twin Mustang fan needs to read this book. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Book Details<\/strong> This book was a surprise for me and I enjoyed it immensely. McLaren greatly helped me realize just what a great aircraft the Twin Mustang was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n This book is an excellent companion to Alan Carey’s book.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But, It has its shortcomings. It has some awesome drawings at the end that are difficult to read or use.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The content of the book is as follows:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Great book for aviation buffs! <\/p>\n\n\n\n Book Details<\/strong> The small size of this volume (about 5×7 inches) took me by surprise. You can see its size compared to a mug in the above picture.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This book is part of the “Mini in Action” short series from Squadron\/Signal Publications published in the 1990s. It is a shrunken version of the “In Action” Series from the same publisher.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Squadron books are recognized as very useful for modeling and artwork as a reference.<\/p>\n\n\n So, in spite of its page size, the Mini shares many of the characteristics of its bigger brother like line drawings, 2 pages of color drawings and good photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While it is a pity that Squadron only made a mini and not a large size from the Twin Mustang, with only 50 pages, it is a short read but a very comprehensive and well-written booklet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n A neat little book everyone interested in Twin Mustang should have in their collection. Highly recommended. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Book Details<\/strong> This is not a Twing Mustang exclusive book, but if you are interested in a reference book it will be a great addition. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Marcelle Size Knaak’s book is the first of a multi-volume encyclopedia. The first volume is about US fighter aircraft between 1945 and 1973. It starts with the F-80 Shooting Star and ends with the development of the F-15 Eagle. <\/p>\n\n\n\n So, the F-82 Twin Mustang has its own section in this book:<\/p>\n\n\n\n It has a lot of numbers and dates. Studiously accurate but tedious.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Download PDF version<\/strong> From Amazon, I bought two manuals of the Twin Mustang:<\/p>\n\n\n\n It resulted that both were manuals from the F-82E:<\/p>\n\n\n I can not recommend PeriscopeFilm’s version as its printing is blurred. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The content from both manuals is the same:<\/p>\n\n\n If you like all this stuff, I recommend you buy the Aviation Publications’s manual.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In addition, I could buy and download the following digitalized manuals online:<\/p>\n\n\n\n Now I\u2019d like to turn it over to you: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Have you read any of these books? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Do you know any other book about the Twin Mustang? <\/p>\n\n\n\n Let me know by leaving a comment below right now. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If you are interested in reading some books on the F-82 Twin Mustang, you will be in trouble.
