The Naval Institute Guide to World Military Aviation 1995

by René J. Francillon

The premiere edition of a comprehensive reference that provides thorough information on the aircraft, aeronautical systems, and weapons now in service in the world's air forces. The first section provides an alphabetical census of orders of battle, from the two-aircraft Fiji Military Forces to the mammoth air forces of the US and the Russian Federation. Section two details all current operational aircraft types, from the WWII-vintage Douglas C-47 still serving 19 air forces to state-of-the-art aircraft like the Swedish Air Force's JAS Gripen. Some 1,500 high quality b&w photographs, many never before published, illustrate 316 types of aircraft and 46 types of helicopters. Handsome, well-organized, and accessible. 9.25x12.25" Annotation copyright Book News, Inc. Portland, Or.
