The Encyclopedia of Military Aircraft

 

Ever since US army Lieutenant Paul Black released sandbags representing bombs over Los Angeles in January 1910, the potential for aircraft to play a decisive part in war has never been in doubt. Two world wars and conflicts in Vietnam, Korea and the Gulf proved the necessity for ever faster and more agile aircraft, resulting in some of the most powerful and awe-inspiring machines ever constructed. This highly illustrated volume features more than 650 of the most significant combat aircraft manufactured since the beginning of the 20th century, from the World War I Sopwith Camel to World War II legends such as the Spitfire and Lancaster, and from early jets such as the Hawker Hunter to the 21st century fighting aircraft such as the F-22 Raptor and B2 stealth bomber.
