Synopsis
Compiled by the author of Jane's Air Forces of the World, this book is a must for aviation experts. In one volume the reader will find the composition and details of all air elements of a staggering 169 nations' air forces and, where they exist, army air, naval air and such paramilitary organizations as the US Coast Guard Service. By definition such a book must be regularly updated and David Wragg has researched his subject right up to the minute. This latest book supersedes the author's early book in the Jane series.

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. The World Air Power Guide provides up-to-the-minute comprehensive information on the military aviation assets of no less than 169 nations. While the bulk of the book covers the air forces of the countries concerned, the author, who previously compiled Jane's Air Forces of the World, includes details of, where applicable, army, navy, marine and coastguard airpower, together with their history and other relevant information.rnrnRevealing comparisons are made between countries' populations, GDP and defence expenditure. These raise worrying questions as to the differing levels of national commitment to maintaining peace and security.rnrnOver the last 100 years air power has become a key component of any developed nation's defence strategy and there is no prospect of its significance diminishing. Even insurgency campaigns such as Afghanistan, ground forces cannot operate effectively without strategic and tactical airlift capability, air-to-ground fire support and airborne intelligence gathering.rnrnWith its numerous illustrations, The World Air Power Guide provides the reader, whether professional or lay, with an outstanding array of information at an affordable price.rnrnDavid Wragg is the author of some thirty books on aviation and naval history, with dozen of these either co-published in the United States or translated. He has also been a contributor to numerous newspapers and magazines, including The Sunday Telegraph, The Spectator, The Scotsman and The Sunday Herald. His books on the Royal Navy in the two world wars have been described by The Review (Quarterly Journal of the Naval Historical Collectors and Research Association) as '.meticulously researched and presented in a logical and easily read format.' A Century of Naval Aviation 1909-2009 (published by Pen and Sword Maritime, was described by FLY NAVY as '.very well researched and readable.' He lives in Edinburgh. Seller Inventory # 00105187731
