Rand McNally Encyclopedia of Military Aircraft

It is too bad this book is out of print. It is as comprehensive as any current book available on the aircraft from 1914 to 1980. Both World Wars are covered, as well as the Cold War. The details are all any airplane enthusiast could ask for. It is richly illustrated, has good text, and includes photographs of many planes. It is also helpful that so many different national insignias are included. If this book is available at a garage sale, auction, or other used book sale/store, I suggest buying it. Perhaps someday it will be updated and re-released. It should be.

OUTSTANDING

VERY INFORMATIVE, PURCHASED FOR MY 8 YEAR OLD, WITH THE CIVIL AIRCRAFT EDITION. BECAUSE OF HIS INTEREST IN AIRPLANES. BEAUTIFUL PICTURES, CAN SIT AND LOOK AT FOR HOURS.

Huge book that covers all military aircraft 1914-1980.

If you have seen Jane's All the World's Aircraft, then you have an idea of what this book is like, but this book is done much nicer. Color drawings and historical descriptions are included for each plane. A great reference book for those interested in military aircraft.
