5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Aviation Reference Book., December 2, 1999

By A Customer

This is a huge book, this size of a world atlas, and 670 pages long. It has information on all of the military and civil aircraft currently in production worldwide. This includes rotorcraft, gliders, and homebuilts.

I think this is a better book than "Jane's All the World's Aircraft".

4.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Book, January 6, 2000

By A Customer

An excellent reference, however, the pictures are black and white, and rather small, though there are plenty of them. Also the print is rather small, which my father found impossible to read.

5.0 out of 5 stars More than a poor man's Jane's..., October 23, 2000

By	Sean P. O'Connor (Derby, Kansas United States) - See all my reviews

Excellent book. Clear, concise information, definitely a worthy alternative to the pricey Jane's books. The addition of more missile drawings was a welcome addition.
