identification photographs. It describes all the truly classic
aircraft, such as the Spitfire, Messerschmitt Bf109, Heinkel He111,

bomber. It covers the history of fighters and bombers, their
technology and role in major conflicts around the world, including
the first fighter aces, early bombing raids, Blitzkrieg, the Battle

other aircraft, and is brimming with information about planes such
as the Bristol Fighter, Spitfire, P-51 Mustang, MiG-15, Hunter,

These splendidly illustrated books provide enthusiasts and
historians with key information about the world's greatest military
aircraft.
