Product Description:
This remarkable reference records the history of more than 90 significant aircraft that have seen service since 1914, including the B-17 Flying Fortress that gained renown over Europe in World War II and the Avro Vulcan used by the RAF during the Cold War. Ranging from single-engine divebombers to multi-engined strategic bombers, each aircraft featured is illustrated by rare historical photos, color profiles, and cutaway drawings, and accompanied by detailed development, production, and combat histories.
