It is an invaluable reference work for air forces, commercial airline and fleet operators, manufacturers and sub-contractors, other professional organisations in the aerospace industry, libraries and for the countless numbers of aviation enthusiasts around the world. The new 1999/2000 edition of WA&SD has been fully revised and updated, containing much material that cannot be found in any other single source reference book. What sets WA&SD apart from any competing reference book is the immense scope of coverage at an affordable price. The general layout, which was widely praised in the press and by many users, has been further refined for the new 1999/2000 edition. A second colour has been introduced, making it even easier to find the precise area of detail wanted. Many illustrations are larger, and air-to-surface, anti-ship and anti-armour missile drawings have been added to the original air-to-air drawings of the first edition.

Aircraft types from around the world are grouped by role, making comparison between combat aircraft, airliners or other categories extremely easy. The first entry for a specific manufacturer is preceded by an in-depth Company profile which is then referred to in subsequnt sections.
