[Robert Hepple · Rating 4 out of 5]

Published in 1998, 'General Dynamics F-111 Aardvark' is a superior photo album featuring the aircraft of the title. Around 740 photos make a good stab at providing a good photo each aircraft built, each with a good piece of captioning. The pics fall into sections for each variant, with a short text intro covering the development and use of the variant concerned. A superb book about a rather special aircraft.
