Reviews

[Jorge · Rating 4 out of 5]

Incluye una visión bastante general y adecuada de muchos aviones de la Segunda Guerra Mundial, pero no puedo evitar notar el gran número de aviones mostrados de la RAF o de la USAAF pero pocos ( mas bien 2) de la Unión Soviética, rarete, ¿no?

[David Campton · Rating 4 out of 5]

A beautifully produced book for WW2 aircraft geeks like me. The original illustrations of each of the chosen models, together with other photographs, a brief production history and technical specs makes for an interesting but not overwhelming look at the most important aircraft of this period, including some that are often overlooked.
