This review is from: One Hundred Years of World Military Aircraft (Hardcover)
Polmar and Bell have done a masterful job of covering a century's worth of military aircraft. (Make that "unmanned military aircraft"--the V-1 buzz bomb and the Predator don't make the cut.) There's material here for at least 100 arguments, but the selections are always interesting and the logic is always impressive even if you aren't entirely convinced. (What, no Storch? No P-47 Thunderbolt?) In the meantime, you'll pick up information you didn't have before. (The first operational military helicopter was the Flettner Kolibi, designed to be carried on U-boats.) One for your library! -- Dan Ford
