Great book

I just stumbled across my copy of The Pocket Guide to Military Aircraft. I purchased my copy Feb 1987 for $7.50 while stationed in England. I now have a pretty nice collection of aviation related books, but this one stands out as one of my favorites. Best $7.50 I think I ever spent. This book was first printed in 1986. I carried this book with me during Operations Desert Shield/Desert Storm, and one more deployment in 1994. After that,the info started to become dated, and the book was no longer current, but, it's still a fun to read.

Excellent guide. A must for young enthousiasts.

It's a shame this series is no longer in print (1988) because it is the single best small pocket guide with excellent b/w and colour diagrams and insightful specifications and history notes. The guide's addendum (the World's Airforces) is concise yet informative.
