Big empty Book! Sorry Janes!,
This review is from: Jane's Fighting Aircraft of World War II (Hardcover)
I have the privilege to live near a good aviation bookshop (good and a lot more expansive than Amazon :). When "Jane's Fighting Aircraft of World War II" came in "my" shop I got a look at it and regarding the average "Jane's" books, I expected a lot of true information and some interresting photos...... Wrong, you get a big book with a lot of text and a lot of not interresting Black and White photos already on the market for a long time (Photos are not so sharp)I don't think it is a book to offer as a gift because it is big but with a very boring presentation. Only the covert look pretty good. For fellow modeler: glance but do not buy!

Re-Print of 1946 Jane's,
By A Customer
This review is from: Jane's Fighting Aircraft of World War II (Hardcover)
(N.B. - I didn't fact-check my memory of this book which I read several years ago). This is essentially a re-print of the 1946 edition (post WW-II), and thus, contains wartime information and data. It doesn't have post-publication or modern research or data, and is thoroughly a book of its time (1946) in appearance, layout and format. The photographs are copied (looks like negatives weren't available) and as such, of mediocre quality and detail. Drawings and fonts are typical of Jane's for that period. Drawing lines are thicker and not as crisp of contemporary 3-view drawings, and data presentation are different to modern Jane's. If you view it as a re-print of a classic, the price is right; it's not a contemporary, researched book with "new findings." I would recommend it to every library or collection for its historical value. The Foward has information that modern Jane's don't include anymore. The book's companion is the "Fighting Ships of WWII" and my comments for that book are the same.
