Product Description
More than 100 of the world's most potent fighter aircraft are depicted in superbly detailed cutaway drawings: from the canvas-and-string contraptions of World War I to the amazing stealth fighters that are taking air combat into the 21st century. Accompanied by fascinating technical and developmental descriptions, each drawing reveals and clearly identifies the aircraft's airframe structures, engines, fuel tanks, avionics and weaponry, and is complemented by a three-view drawing and action photograph.

Terrific book. I build models on my computer in 3D and this book is a great resource. The drawings are splendid.
And the text clear. If you find aircraft fascinating, you will enjoy many hours with this book
 Illustrated Anatomy of the World's Greatest Fighters October 14, 2007

A detailed overview of the development of fighter aircraft achieved through detailed pictorial, diagramatic and written analysis of 100 examples. True to form, the authors knowledge of technically important and interesting but little known and often ignored types, as well as the better known classics, is what makes this book really stand out and draws the reader back again and again.
Insightful look into the designs of Fighter aircrafts. February 13, 2006
10 out of 11 found this review helpful
Gorgeous color photos of fighters through the ages are on the inside covers and the intro sections. However, the main substance of this book are the highly detailed and labeled b/w 3-D cutaway diagrams of some well known fighter aircrafts from the WWI Morane-Saulnier Type N, WWII P-38 Lightning, DeHavilland Mosquito to the modern Dassault Rafale, Saab Gripen, F-22A Raptor and Eurofighter EF2000 Typhoon. Great for fast referencing including a brief history and specs (powerplant, performance, weight, dimensions, and armament) for each fighter. A worthy addition to any fighter enthusiast, historian, or hobbyist's library!!!
