5.0 out of 5 stars
a very valuable book on post-WW II military jet aircraft,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Military Jets: Design and Development: 1945 to the Present Day (Hardcover)
This is a lovely book illustrated with excellent aviation artwork, quite up-to-date, featuring the art of such notables as the late Keith Fretwell, Chris Davey and Mike Badrocke and with worthwhile and interesting text, too. Although some art has appeared elsewhere, this is still a very valuable addition to post-WW II military jet aircraft literature and priced reasonably as well.
