4.0 out of 5 stars A REVIEW, April 2, 2000

By	Davis Hartfelder (Canada) - See all my reviews

The F-18 Hornet is an aircraft highly rated and hard to review. However, this book includes insight and the things I really wanted to see and couldn't with anything else (sorry "JANES"). Good information and coverage on specific points really made this book a good read and stare.

4.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Modeler Resource-Typical Verlinden, April 23, 2007

By	Robert D. Starnes (Wiesbaden, Germany) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Excellent detail shots of entire airplane, This is a Walk-around type Picture book for hardcore enthusiasts. Very little to no aircraft history, operational stories, pics of different squadron markings, etc. But those are available elsewhere. This is a reference for the serious modeler, If you are interested in the actual mechanics of the Bug this book would go very nicely with a maintenance manual so you can figure out what all those black boxes and parts actually do. Typical verlinden book, a thousand shots of one or two planes in gruesome detail.
