With the aid of more than 100 extraordinarily detailed and accurate line drawings, this book shows how a wide selection of these aircraft were put together - inside and out. Each line drawing is annotated with an exhaustive key, and is complemented by several color photographs. Over 50 key aircraft are also illustrated with an annotated color view of the type in action. Complete with detailed information about each aircraft's operational specifications, this book is an invaluable reference for anyone interested in how aircraft are designed and constructed.
