Out of date today, but still informative, in fact some of the ideas in the book still sound futuristic. More technical than I would have liked, although I am not that technical. Many really good photos.

While dated in relation to today's current military arsenals, this work provides excellent historical information about a number of aircraft. The text touches on many aspects of a particular model's history, including manufacturing concerns and design considerations.

The highlight of this volume is the collection of artwork and highly detailed cut-away drawings of each of the aircraft. From an artistic perspective all of these works are exceptional.
