No other book on World War II aviation provides so many specifications and details of performance in such a concise format. On one page are a brief description of each aircraft's purpose, as well as photographs and drawings that include fields of fire. On the facing page are its specifications and performance data, including range, armament, bomb/freight load, and armour. Comprehensive and accurate, it is the ideal quick reference for the airplane buff, the modeler, the computer wargamer, and the air warfare historian.
