Complete Book of World War II Combat Aircraft

An A-Z encyclopaedia of every Allied and Axis fighting plane from 1933 to 1945 - from the famous to the lesser known - in all theatres of war from Europe to Asia and the Pacific, including bombers, fighters, assault aircraft, torpedo launchers, old-style biplanes, and the first jets. One hundred and fifty different aircraft are covered in this text, individually and in detail from the Aichi D3A to the Yokosuka P1Y. This book also presents 500 full colour illustrations which show the aircraft's profiles, camouflage and markings, plus original photographs and technical specifications.
