Which World War II bomber could carry the heaviest bombload? Which Cold War fighter could fly the fastest? Which modern military aircraft has the greatest range? Compared & Contrasted: Aircraft examines fighters and bombers, reconnaissance and transport planes, helicopters and water planes from World War I to the present day.
Each spread features a key category (such as operational range, maximum speed, armour protection, engine power and armaments) with an easy to follow diagram or chart comparing the strengths of five aircraft. Expert text puts the diagrams into historical context, while colour profile artworks and colour and black-and-white photographs illustrate the aircraft. The book is a wealth of technical data presented in an easily understood format.
Packed with specially created charts, graphs, and artworks and accompanied by an accessible explanation of the key characteristics of each aircraft, Compared & Contrasted: Aircraft is a fantastic book for any general reader or military enthusiast.
