5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Book, May 13, 1999

Carrier launched B-2 Bombers? The F-14 Stealth Attack Fighter? B-1 missions during Desert Storm?

Even I could catch these incredible aviation reporting mistakes in recent media coverage of the Crisis in Kosovo. I wondered what else I was missing. This book provides a wealth of information for the curious, but probably not enough here for a real expert in the field.

This is quite a good book but I find that its information is fairly basic and often found in other Jane's publications. Its strong point is that it covers some aircraft that are yet to enter service such as the Chinese FC-1 and J-8 IIM, the Indian LCA and the Russian MiG I-42. Also the photos are of a high standard.

Advanced Tactical Fighters is an okay book.Oh sure it has pictures and all but not very many planes.Some planes go on with facts that don't have to be in there for a few pages which makes it so there are'nt many planes.The pictures in it are'nt very good either.If you just want a book that does'nt show many planes this is the one.Not a good book for a report or anything but it's still pretty good book.It is certainly not a reference book but if you just want to take a quik glance at a fighter it will do.
