Hi all! I've been "shopping around" for this for a long time now. I found the "Encyclopedia of Modern Military Aircraft", by Paul Eden, link It's real cheap used, but reviews say it lack specs of all planes but the MiG-31 :( My interest if fighters, bombers, drones, helos, transports, etc., but mainly fighters. I don't need info on early jets, although I'll take them also. Also I want a book that features Chinese planes, the Indian HAL Tejas, etc., not just the Western powers and Russia. Any pointers, please? —Rolando |

I haven't bought one for at least 10 years, the last one I did covered everything civilian and military, for all time. The ones I see in bookstores don't seem to be spec-heavy, more pictures and fluff. To be honest, online resources are probably more current, albeit potentially unreliable. |
