Reseña del editor:

Discover some of the most amazing examples of jet fighters of all time in this exhilarating new title with inside and outside vantage points. * This high-flying reference book gives mere civilians a unique chance to climb into the cockpits of classified military aircraft, and launch up into the clouds for recon missions and air-to-air combat. * From the earliest models developed during World War I to the sophisticated military aircraft of the twenty-first century, readers can explore iconic fighter jets like the sub-sonic MiG-17, one of the Soviet Union's most punishing weapons, and the iconic McDonnell-Douglas F-15 Eagle, in flight since 1972. * Learn how military aircraft evolved from the lightweight bi-planes of World War I to today's technological wonders equipped with radar and long-range missiles. * Large-scale spreads are visually arresting, and feature detailed specifications and fact boxes, as well as specially commissioned cross-section diagrams revealing the design and construction of each featured plane. * Filled with more than 300 archival photographs, detailed artwork, maps, and more!
