great ww2 book
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
this book has such great detail to ww2 airplanes. its got multiple pictures of each plane with some b & w pics that are original. it has great info on them. it has detailed info on what they were like, how fast they could go, what they had for weapons etc. it also compares to the plane on that page to 2 other planes that compete with it. for example, an American plane being compared to 2 British planes. any way, if you are a ww2 airplane buff, this is a must have book.
A good encyclopedia book.

It's nice to have books that have information on aircraft of WWII. And 'Aircraft of World War 2' is one of those books that should be in your library. With over 120 aircraft of WWII, from the Bf-109, Fw-190, P-51, DC-3 (or C-47 as it was known during the war years), Spitfire, Mosquito, Bf-110, He-111, Ju-88 and a lot more. I've found a lot of information in this book. From power plant, speed, type of plane, armament and the book even compares the plane to other planes of it's class. If you're looking for a good WWII aircraft encyclopedia book, then this is the one.
Great Book

Loved the book! Fun to read, and accurate (duh). I highly suggest it mainly because it is one of the best world war two 'field guides' to the war birds that flew during that time period. I've read a lot, and favor this most of all.
