Description
This book covers all significant military aeroplanes in a comprehensive, highly detailed and compact form.
About 300 different types are described and illustrated with photographs; of these, 140 are also accompanied by three-view silhouettes. Unlike many books on military aircraft, which include only fighters and bombers, Military Aircraft of the World gives full coverage to maritime and photographic reconnaissance aircraft, strategic and tactical transports, helicopters, trainers, observation and communications aircraft. All the latest Russian designs, such as the airborne warning and control system "Moss", are included. So are America’s new B-1A swing-wing supersonic strategic bomber, and F-14 and F-15 fighters, although the prototypes have not yet been completed.
Jacket photo shows an LTV A-7D Corsair II tactical fighter, carrying an impressive under-wing load of bombs, being refuelled in flight.
