Great for Quick Reference

Jane's has always been a trustworthy name that I have looked to for information on aircraft, especially military aircraft. This book covers it all, from light aircraft to Bombers. Each page has a full color photo of the aircraft, along with a small description, 3 view diagram, variants, features, and the aircraft's specifications. I used this book for the "NIFA" Competition of Aircraft Identification, and it greatly helped me. Definitely good for anyone who wants to know quickly what kind of aircraft they are looking at without much hasstle.

A valuable reference for those interested in aircraft.

Since this book includes data, profiles and photographs of possibly all aircraft currently in service, it is a very useful tool for those who want to identify aircraft. As an aviation professional I have often used it and recommend it strongly to anyone seeking to invest in this book.

Excellent Flightline Reference Guide

This book is a no frills just the facts reference guide. It provides aircraft dimensions, weights, performance, and armament information. Photos and graphic representations assist in aircraft identification. Aircraft are logically grouped making searches for a particular airframe easy. Anyone working the flightline, and/or coordinating airshows will find this information invaluable when trying to establish parking plans.
