Autor Babak Taghvaee
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 30 mai 2027
The Lockheed Martin C-5M Super Galaxy stands as the most powerful symbol of America's global reach--a giant capable of moving an army across oceans. In this definitive chronicle, historian Babak Taghvaee reveals how the world's largest operational airlifter evolved from the troubled C-5A of the Cold War into the modernized C-5M Super Galaxy that today underpins U.S. global power projection. Drawing on exclusive interviews, squadron records, and first-hand reporting from Dover, Travis, Westover, and Kelly Field, Taghvaee documents the aircraft's unmatched role in operations from Desert Storm and Inherent Resolve to Rising Lion and Midnight Hammer (2025). He details the engineering breakthroughs of the AMP and RERP modernization programs, the crews who fly and maintain these strategic giants, and the humanitarian missions that show their softer side. Richly illustrated and meticulously researched, Lockheed C-5M Super Galaxy is both a technical reference and an operational history--celebrating a machine that continues to deliver America's strength, speed, and resolve wherever they are needed.

Notă biografică

Starting his career in 2005 by the means of anonymously writing articles about the history of the Iranian Air Force for Iranian websites, Babak Taghvaee soon became an aviation journalist, book author, historian and photojournalist by publishing his articles in English and German aviation magazines such as AirForces Monthly and Combat Aircraft in 2008 and 2009 respectively. He then co-authored his first book about the Iranian Air Force in 2010. In 2011, he became one of two supervisors of the Iranian Air Force's historical research project 'Historical Identity of IRIAF' to document the history of the force and to write books about the subject. In the same year, he was invited by one of the Iranian defence companies to work as civilian innovator and advisor of the Iranian Air Force's aircraft upgrade projects while he was a student in two Iranian universities (as well as a journalist for several Iranian aviation magazines). Since 2013, he has written almost 100 articles, news reports and three books about the Iranian civil and military aviation industries and the Russian and Ukrainian Air Forces, as well as the air war against the ISIL in the British, French, Greek and Russian world's leading military aviation magazines while he was living in exile.
