This revised, expanded edition chronicles the development and career of the world's predominant military airlifter, from its origins in the depths of the Cold War through the present day. It includes new information and pictures on current variants, along with updated appendices with present day units and active aircraft.

Over 190 photographs show the "Herk" in a variety of roles and paint schemes: coverage includes gunships, electronic warfare and reconnaissance models, testbed and special use aircraft, and Navy models. Close-up detail photos of several variants will be of interest to scale modellers.

Industry Reviews

The Lockheed C-130 Hercules is a true legend of the air. It is in production since 1955 and indeed no replacement is on the horizon, as testified by the recent orders placed by French and German air forces for C-130J, despite these users have the Airbus A400M in line too! This nice and well-illustrated book tells the fascinating story of this rugged and extremely versatile cargo plane, especially the least known electronic warfare variants and the test beds ones. This 2nd edition is updated with the C-130J and operational records till to 2017. - Marco De Montis, freelance aerospace journalist July 2018
