This book is the first in a series that will run for several years and cover all military and civilian users of the C-130 "Hercules". Each volume will cover the air forces of one or more continents. After the European air forces, three volumes will cover Africa, Australasia, the Middle East and Central and South America. An entire volume will be dedicated to the US Air Force, by far the largest user, which has developed an impressive number of sub-versions tailored to specific missions. Another volume will summarise the other American users (US Navy, US Marine Corps, Nasa, etc.), and the series will conclude with a final volume dedicated exclusively to civilian users. In this first volume, Xavier Capy presents the aircraft, its origins, its characteristics and its main versions. In this volume, he traces the career of the "Hercules" with each of its users, with a complete list of the aircraft, their current destiny, their career and the units that used them. All this is complemented by an exceptionally rich and often unpublished iconography. Of course, the situation of the fleet is constantly evolving, with flight bans, retirements, crashes, deliveries of new aircraft and so on. Therefore, the data provided reflects the situation at the time each volume went to press.
