WARP1ANES
Doug Richardson • Over 800 illustrations
Modern warplanes are among the most sophisticated
machines of our advanced technology age. But while
aviation enthusiasts find their very complexity
fascinatingly attractive, it does present them with
problems of comprehension.
Concentrating on all the most significant types now in
service, or soon expected to be so, Doug Richardson cuts
through the technical jargon to explain what, quite
simply, the aircraft enthusiast wants and needs to know:
what does the warplane do, how well does it do it, and
how does one variant of the type differ from another.
More than thirty of the aircraft types described have seen
action in conflicts around the globe since the author
wrote the first few words of this book. His informed
comment on the combat performance of these and other
aircraft, supported by thousands of indispensable facts,
makes fascinating reading.
Aircraft entries are presented alphabetically throughout
the dynamically illustrated pages, each illustration
having been specially prepared or selected to assist the
reader in his quest for easy recognition of type and
identification of variant.
Superbly crafted full-color profile drawings depict
hundreds of air force markings and unit iunsignia, and
helpfully annotated technically accurate line drawings
emphasise specific aspects of the aircraft in order to aid
recognition. Hundreds of photographs, most of them
showing the aircraft in action, in color, add to the
immense vaue of this excellent reference work.
Readers will use this book to obtain information other
books cannot give them.
