If you're looking for lots of pictures of F-16's around the world, this is your book. If you want technical stuff, look somewhere else.

I have reads tons of books on the F-16 Fighting Falcon and this one tops them all!

This book is essentially a collection of photographs of the F-16 from the Thunderbird demonstration team, to the European scheme, to the Air Superiority scheme, to the US Navy Aggressor scheme. The photographs are accompanied by text which explains unique features of the photo. A useful reference for scale modelers who want to customize stock plastic kits. Plenty of shots of landing gear, IR sensors, cockpit (as much as can be shown for an unclassified document) and engine. If you're looking for information on how the bird actually works, you're better off with a copy of the "Falcon 4.0" PC flight simulation game manual or Shaw's "Fighter Combat: Tactics and Maneuvering" book.

This is strictly a "picture" book with pictures of the different F-16 paint jobs around the world.

There is ABSOLUTELY NOTHING worthwile tactical or technical in this book.

Buy it only if you like pretty pictures of the F-16!

This is definetly the easiest reading on how to fly and fight a modern fighter/attack aircraft. In the first 20 pagaes I learned more about air to air guns than I ever learned and I've read many manuals. I only fly computer simulators, but, like any hobby you want to be good at it. I've posted message,s on some of the other sim sites about this book because I think it is a must for sim enthusiasts. I also can now appretiate what these pilots must go thru to learn their craft.
