Excellent pictures
The illustrations are superb. They are paintings of specific planes as opposed to generic depictions/computer drawn rubbish.

Good info, terrible images. Why are they all side profile?
It's got good info etc as a quick reference, but really frustrating that al the pictures are side views. Most planes look the same side on. Can't see the difference in wing shapes, the engines hide the fuselage detail etc and as for planes like the P38 lightening you might as well not bother with the image. Left me very frustrated with what could potentially have been an excellent little book.

Very detailed
Great detailed book about most planes for the allied and axes forces from WW2. So detailed, it even goes into where the planes were built, and which battles they fought in etc. Good book for a history buff, or younger kid who’s into military vehicles.

Gut für den Modellbau
Kurze knappe Darstellung der in WW II beteiligten Jagdflugzeuge mit interessanten Farbprofilen. Als schnelles Nachschlagewerk für den erfahrenen wie auch für den neuen Modellbauer geeignet.
