Famous Fighters of WW2 parade
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 22 years ago
Being already published in 1957, and again in 1962 and 1975, this book was for years one of the standard references about WW2 fighter aircraft. Since 1975 however, there has been sustantially more published about WW2 fighters than between 1945 and 1975, and though not all of those publications had new material compared to this one, quite a few did and quite a few of the new monographs about WW2 fighter planes were a lot more thorough, often discovering things in addition to this book or even sometimes contradicting it. Nevertheless it remains one of the best quick references for silhouetes and open airframe drawings, which have been used by Mr. Green over and over again in his later standard references such as the ten volume "Warplanes of the second World War" or the twelve volume "WW2 Aircraft Fact Files", both published by Macdonald and/or Jane's
Superb review of the most significant fighters of WW 2.

Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 27 years ago
Green's text, specs, layouts and photos are marvelous. One can compare the Mustang to the ME109 on performance, payload, design changes and development. Best reviews of Japanese aircraft anywhere. Two volumes. By same author: Famous Bombers of WWII.
