Synopsis

A completely revised, third edition of the most comprehensive guide to modern aircraft available to the general public. Essential for anyone interested in modern air travel.

Since the first edition of this book was published in 1996, there have been major changes to the world’s air forces and significant developments in the civil aviation business.

As we enter into the new millennium a new generation of military aircraft is entering service, and mid-life upgrades are significantly changing both military and civil fleets.

Jane’s Aircraft Recognition Guide provides technical specifications from Jane’s All the World’s Aircraft (published since 1909). The new format also allows for additional aircraft and information to be featured.

This comprehensive guide uses high-quality colour photography to illustrate the entire range of modern aircraft, from civil jet airliners and helicopters to combat support aircraft and business turboprops. This is the most complete guide available for anyone interested in aircraft recognition.
