The World's Greatest Aircraft

More about the book

A feast for the eye, this book is a near definitive selection of the finest planes ever to have flown. 250 of the world's most important, influential and famous aircraft are detailed, as are many of the classic fighters and bombers from World War II, along with photographs and illustrations which help to convey just what is so special about each aircraft. Fascinating histories of the design, development, manufacture and service life of each aircraft are accompanied by a technical specification highlighting on its most important variants. Each is illustrated by a large and detailed colour side-view artwork, a three-view general arrangement line drawing and a colour or black and white photograph.
