It has awsome information and is one of my favorite books to bring on any trip (just in case). Its use of quick reference is great and as good or better than a Janes Aircraft Recognition guide for the same money. Good deal. You won't regret!
my son loves it!

I dreamed about such a book in my childhood. Very colorful, a lot of planes and pictures. My 3-yrs old son loves it. Though, there are some bad points: 1) less known planes are not included 2) at the same time, much attention is often paid to different variants of one plane 3) I found a discrepancy in the schematic view of an aircraftBut, in general the book is great for general reference and children!Worth buying!
Well done!

As usual, Bill Gunston has done an outstanding job in bringing to view the many modern combat aircraft employed today. Though I give it 5 stars, Gunston should have expanded each aircraft with at least two pages to include more photos and a section of what countries have particular aircraft in their inventory. Overall, the book is absolutely fantastic!
