Historic Military Aircraft Recognition Guide (Jane’s) (Jane's Recognition Guides) - Softcover

The fifth title in the immensely successful Jane’s Recognition Guide series, the Vintage & Veteran Aircraft Recognition Guide is a comprehensive directory of all veteran aircraft flying today.

Restoration of historic aircraft is now big business. Although it costs £20,000 per hour to keep a World War II Spitfire airworthy, the world’s biggest veteran aircraft collection, the Confederate Air Force has more airplanes than most modern air forces! Its B-29 Superfortress has been gracing air shows with its unique presence for 25 years.

Vintage and veteran aircraft range from pre-World War I types like the Bristol Boxcar to relatively modern jets like the F-4 Phantom. As modern air forces update their squadrons, so more aircraft types will find their place in the Vintage & Veteran Aircraft Recognition Guide, the perfect companion volume to the hugely popular Jane’s Aircraft Recognition Guide.

From jet interceptors recently retired from military service to World War 1 bi-planes, 'Jane's Historic Military Aircraft' recognition guide is a complete directory of military aircraft preserved today.
