I cannot for the life of me figure out why anyone over the age of ten would buy this book. In a book listing the 300 "greatest" attack & interceptor jets, why would there be 5 individual pages to the Hawker Sea Hawk and no listings for the early (WW II era) Gloster Meteor. And what on earth are listings for the Lockheed large transport aircraft doing in a book on combat aircraft. The author clearly was simply filling space and given the limited & questionable information provided about each aircraft, one would have to ask if the author had more than a passing interest in the subject to begin with. In depth, knowledgeable information is lacking. This book might make a grade schooler smile but for this price a serious attempt at researching the material might have been offered. My advice would be to stay away from this whole series of books. If this is a sample, the rest can't be much better.
