1.0 out of 5 stars Big Disappointment, November 27, 2000

This review is from: The New Illustrated Encyclopedia of Aircraft (Hardcover)

This book is more like the "The New Illustrated Encyclopedia of Aircraft Manufacturers" then the "The New Illustrated Encyclopedia of Aircraft." It starts with a short and somewhat sketchy history of aviation then goes into the encyclopedia which it titles "The A-Z of the World's Aircraft.". All of the entries are just different aircraft manufacturers. It mentions a little of the companie's history and gives a list of the companies products. While there are many pictures of aircraft in the book, no information is given for any of the aircraft that are mentioned in the book. All it is a list of aircraft manufacturers and what they make or made. I was very disappointed by this book and do not recomend it to anyone.

I really think this book deseves five stars. It deserves five stars because it gives you a picture and a lot of information about each plane. i really like this book. I would like to compliment the author on the good pictures that are in there. I especialy like the f-22 Raptor picture.If I could I would give this book 500 stars!
