  Review written by: Rene Verjans

  You must really love small aircraft an awful lot to be able to produce a book like this! More than 800 aircraft are listed in this bible of more than 400 pages thick! It is something like a Janes Defense…but then different. Not all ‘light aircraft’ are enlisted in this book, else it would be twice […]

  Review written by: Joris Gonggrijp

  The title of this book suggests that it is primarily written for pilots. But if you buy the book for that, than you get it wrong. This book is the most elaborate ‘air war history book’ that I have ever laid my hands on. It starts off in the after days of WO I and […]

  Review written by: Max Heldring

  This E-book is the follow-up to a previously published work by Sylvia Wrigley detailing both well-known and relatively unknown plane crashes during 2001. This book describes 11 accidents that occurred in 2002. Among these, the most tragic example of how badly things can go wrong, is the story of a collision between a Tupolev 154M […]

  I already own several of these “Images of War” books and what is nice about the series as a whole is the format; slightly smaller than A4, aromatic paper, and easily digestible information in bite-sized chunks. This book – as the name implies – concerns aircraft carriers. It details in four chapters the development of […]

• RAF in Camera 1950s and -1960s (2 books)

  
  Keith Wilson

  Pen and Sword Books

  2015

  English

  

  300 pg.

  RAF 50s: 9781473827950 / RAF60s: 9781473837768

  Two books of each around 300 pages full with my favourite pictures! Splendid books…without exaggeration. When you see the front pages with the formation of  Hunters and Lightnings, than you are straight back in those years in which an enormous variety of planes flew within the RAF. The Second World War had only just come […]
