Title: Very outdated, very basic
Product review: This book was published in 1945. It is 9"x6". There are 132 pages, all B&W; photos, B&W; silhouettes of the planes in question. There are many errors in the text & captions. Some line drawings and cut aways are included in the text. The author gives an overview of the principles of flight, engines, and airframe designs.For the time, it would have been a good intro to WW2 aircraft, although only British, US, German and Italian designs are included. One of the things I did like were the comparisons of one plane to another. However, the author skips around a lot from fighter to bomber back to figher, etc.I spent $10 on the book back in 1993 and was disappointed.
