Aircraft of World War II

This is a handy reference book showing most of the main aircraft that saw action during WWII. Only the most serious aviation historians will identify planes that are not included in this volume. The book gives a brief account of the plane then adds a chart of motor, armaments, etc. There is a single drawing for each plane. However, an overhead view would have been nice to compliment the side views provided. Also many planes had several variations, and this volume does not give all relevant version information. But the book's purpose seems to be fulfilled and there are many other more detailed volumes out there if people really need theadditional information. This book is compact and can be carried anywhere in a small pocket. Not bad for the price.
