A Hundred Years of Military Aviation. Illustrated and Indexed.
Expert aviation historian and photographer Peter R. March has drawn on photographs from the archives of the world's air forces and aircraft makers to illustrated this new history of military aircraft.
The story features all the great aircraft, their designers, role and performance, and puts them clearly into the historical context of their day. Specially highlighted are all the significant turning points on the road to today's remarkable multi-role combat aircraft.
Fully illustrated throughout, the narrative text is also accompanied by a running chronology to highlight the speed at which aircraft design and deployment has moved forward. Chapters on the war years show the fundamental changes that increasingly sophisticated warplanes have brought to strategic thinking; but on every page in this stunning book it is the image of the warplane, antique or contemporary, in all its powerful glory, that moves the imagination most.
