A highly detailed referance work which contains VERY detailed info on aircraft from many nations and design companies. There are color drawings. B&W drawings, and several cut-away drawings in addition to several large fold out chart pages and detailed graph charts. Details were gathered from musuems all over the world for the making of this book.
It's a treasure trove of info for Aicraft add on developers as well as anyone interested in military aircraft and their history.
All the info presented here is accurate but that's no garuntee that these books are still in print, but they are the most current ones I have purchased. Toss in any detailed Janes book and you'll have all the info you need.
I hope this will help anyone out there looking for some detailed info.
