I got this book for my birhtday. and i was amazed that there was so much info.The book covers todays combat aircraft it hase a contents of most modern fighting planes.You get info of aveonics powerplant's and armerment history and devopment info for all planes.it shows how alot of old planes from the 1970s are upgraded into modern version's for example the F-15 eagle came out as a air seperorty fighter 30 year's ago it was then rebult in into a modern strike fighter.Those are alot of things the book well cover.It tells you about the migs both in develupment and in servece.The book also gives you some of the most intresting info about combat expernce in recent wars and operations.I say you should by this book it is worht it.

I am not an entirely experienced Aviation reader, so for a starter reference for buffs, this is a great book. It is very detailed and goes well in-depth on the American warplanes. While some better coverage of foreign warplanes would be nice, I am personally most enthralled by American warplanes, so it's fine. A great coffee table book, great for anyone who wants to be able to learn about their favorite jet well enough to talk about it, but not too detailed to be cryptic.

I recently borowed this book from a friend and i am going to have trouble giving it back. this is a great book it combines sharp color photos with in depth information on the design, development, avionics armarment etc. These photos include rare test pictures and live fire tests. I reccomend it to anyone intersted in jet aircraft.
