Book by William Green, Gordon Swanborough

More than 100 of the world's most potent fighter aircraft are depicted in superbly detailed cutaway drawings: from the canvas-and-string contraptions of World War I to the amazing stealth fighters that are taking air combat into the 21st century. Accompanied by fascinating technical and developmental descriptions, each drawing reveals and clearly identifies the aircraft's airframe structures, engines, fuel tanks, avionics and weaponry, and is complemented by a three-view drawing and action photograph.

En lidt ældre udgivelse, der gennemgår udvalgte marinefly fra den anden verdenskrig. Udvalget, der er foretaget fra amerikanske og engelske flyfabrikker og som omfatter 16 fly, er til gengæld meget nøje beskrevet med alle ønskelige tekniske og præstationsmæssige detaljer.

Since they first took to the skies more than 80 years ago, military aircraft have been variously daubed, cunningly camouflaged and boastfully personalized. This superb overview spans the entire history of this fascinating art form, depicting more than 100 aircraft types from World War I SPADs to the modern swing-wing Panavia Tornado.
