Fighter Aircraft of World War II: Heavy Fighters * Ground-Attack * Naval * Jet Aircraft

By Edward Ward

Fighter Aircraft of World War II features more than 100 of the greatest and most important aircraft to serve in the Axis and Allied forces during the Second World War.

Classics such as the Supermarine Spitfire, Focke-Wulf Fw 190 and Grumman F6F Hellcat carrier fighter are displayed in vivid detail. Important but lesser-known types, such as the barrel-shaped Polikarpov I-15 and Heinkel He 162 jet fighter provide a wide-ranging assessment.

Each aircraft is illustrated with three artworks and a photograph, showing the markings and camouflage of each model.

Accompanying text puts the type's development, production and service history into context. There is also a specifications table for each aircraft detailing dimensions, performance, weight, engine(s) and armament.

Presented in a compact, pocket-size volume, Fighter Aircraft of World War II is a vivid and authoritative guide to the greatest fighter types of the Second World War.
