Good Book
While the book is great for my son, who is into aviation, but the book was used or at least somewhat damaged at each of its four corners! This book was advertised as new, so I wrote complaining and I got 50% off.

NOT Hardcover
Well organized, beautiful illustrations, but emphatically NOT hardcover. The book is lovely, but I bought it to be left out in the expectation it was, as listed, a hardcover copy. The $40 cost is somewhat excessive for a soft bound book. However, if you love airplanes and the cost & binding are unimportant to you, you'll likely be delighted with your purchase.

Great.....But can be much better
If you're interested in aviation or having a budding interest in the subject well, this is the book for you.. It's a comprehensive visual representation of the history of aviation.... and has almost every major aircraft type from the Wright flyer to the F-22 Raptor however it lacks the following aircraft: 1) The Boeng B-29 Superfortress 2) The Dassault Rafale 3) The A-26 Invader 4) The Hawker Typhoon 5) Later variants of the Spitfire It would have been much better if certain pictures had not been split across 2 pages (i.e. aircraft like the F-14 Tomcat, FW190 and a few others). The cut out of the F-16 is shown larger than the cut outs of the F-15... & the A-20 Havoc (a medium bomber) is shown larger than the B-17 Flying Fortress & B-24 Liberator (Both the latter being heavy bombers) Dimensions of all aircraft such as Fuselage length, wingspan,empty eight, maximum take-off weight should have been included for all aircraft... Certain aircraft have not been dated properly.. for example the Seafire Mk.XVII is dated 1941 but in fact it appeared only in 1944.. Certain carrier based aircraft like the Seafire & Wyvern are shown with the wings folded obscuring the fuselage... I'd have surely given it 5 stars if the issues mentioned above hadn't existed......

The Aircraft Book is an excellent resource for aviation enthusiasts and anyone interested in the history of flight. The book provides a comprehensive overview of the evolution of aircraft, from the earliest gliders to the latest supersonic jets. The visual content of the book is truly outstanding. Each page is filled with high-quality images of aircraft, including detailed illustrations, historic photographs, and stunning artwork. The images are accompanied by informative captions that provide key details about the aircraft and their significance in the history of flight. One of the most impressive aspects of this book is its scope. It covers a wide range of aircraft, including commercial airliners, military aircraft, and experimental planes. This makes it an excellent resource for aviation enthusiasts of all levels, from beginners to experts.
