![]() The Encyclopedia of Modern Aircraft: From Civilian Airliners to Military Superfighters $29.95 I was interested in the military section only of this book, it lists a lot of warplanes with plenty of data about them. The order in witch warplanes are listed could have been different. A good value for money. ![]() Aircraft Carrier $25.98 The information provided is detailed but aimed at the history of World War II. Not much detail on the actual ships themselves. For that I had to get a different video. ![]() The Encyclopedia of Aircraft: Over 3,000 Military and Civil Aircraft from the Wright Flyer to the Stealth Bomber $34.98 This 'Encyclopedia of Aircraft' book is a wonderful book to have. Filled with aircraft from the Wright flyer to modern planes, airplanes from WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam and now. Full of photos and information. This big book is another must have to your library of encyclopedia books. I recommend this to anyone who wants to know the in and outs of over 3,000 planes. ![]() 50 Aircraft that Changed the World $39.95 I read the description of the SPAD XIII aircraft (page 30) and was disappointed to find disparaging comments about famous WWI pilot Rene Fonck. As an aircraft and history buff, I prefer authors who focus on technical and personal achievements instead of those more interested in satisfying their personal prejudice. It is an unfortunate tendency of several British authors of Ron Dick's generation to routinely publish disparaging comments about French pilots or French aircraft. Although this is a very nicely done book, this sort of personal bias remains both unnecessary and irritating to some readers. |
