4.0 out of 5 stars A Great Resource!, March 22, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Military Aircraft: 1914 To the Present (Hardcover)
This book is a great resource for aviation enthusiasts. It contains some information on virtually every production combat aircraft between 1914 to today. Invaluable are the 3-view drawings of the relevant aircraft. It also contains many charts and graphs explaining a variety of topics, such as aircraft production in relevant countries involved in the many wars where air power has been used, comparison of maximum altitude, comparison of maximum range, etc. This book does not give detailed specifications of each aircraft, but a generalized description within a paragraph ordered around date of operation or design, parent country, and type of aircraft. Many color pictorials of insignia and camouflage (again very generalized, mostly only the prominent insignia and camouflage schemes). I recommend it, especially for the aviation modeler (either plastic or computer modeler)!

5.0 out of 5 stars Doesn't Get Much Better, November 27, 2001
By Ryan Rose (Saginaw, MI) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Military Aircraft: 1914 To the Present (Hardcover)
If you're looking for a book about military aircraft, they don't get much better than this. Starting with old Wright and Bleriot airplanes and proceeding to the late 1980s and early 1990s. Some people may complain about the lack of some more modern planes, like the F-22, but this book is a few years old. Overall, it's great.

4.0 out of 5 stars A worthy culmination, July 10, 2002
This review is from: The Illustrated Encyclopedia of Military Aircraft: 1914 To the Present (Hardcover)
This book should be considered as the worthy culmination of the previous efforts and publications of its authors, spanning 2-3 decades. Although aircraft that many would consider as key have been omitted, the authors admit to this in the foreword and give their reasons, which I think are quite valid. Inspite of this characteristic, this book takes its place among the standard reference volumes for its category.
