Classic Aircraft by Brian Johnson

Classic Aircraft by Brian Johnson

Featuring some of the most significant military and civil aircraft from around the world, this book discusses why they are considered "classics". They include the German Stuka dive-bomber of World War II, which added a new and terrifying dimension to war as the spear-point of the crushing Blitzkrieg of 1940; the Boeing B-29, which dropped the atomic bomb and brought an end to the war in 1945; the elegant HP42 Imperial Airways airliners of the 1930s, which opened the air routes to the Empire; and Concorde, which represents the cutting edge of 1970s technology.

Brian Johnson designed, programmed, and implemented the first return sensitivity based parametric framework actively used to control risk in fixed income portfolios. He further extended the capabilities of this approach by designing and programming an integrated series of option valuation, prepayment, and optimization models. Based on this technology, Mr. Johnson founded Lincoln Capital Management's fixed income index business, where he ultimately managed over $13 billion in assets for some of the largest and most sophisticated institutional clients in the U.S. and around the globe. He later served as the President of a financial consulting and software development firm, designing artificial intelligence-based forecasting and risk management systems for institutional investment managers. Mr. Johnson is now a full-time proprietary trader in options, futures, stocks, and ETFs primarily using algorithmic trading strategies. In addition to his professional investment experience, he also designed and taught courses in financial derivatives for both MBA and undergraduate business programs. He has written articles for the Financial Analysts Journal, Active Trader, and Seeking Alpha and he regularly shares his trading insights and research ideas as the editor of www.TraderEdge.Net. Mr. Johnson holds a B.S. degree in finance with high honors from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign and an MBA degree with a specialization in Finance from the University of Chicago Booth School of Business.
