Reviews "One of the advantages of this reference work is that although there are several well-respected sources of information on aircraft in currnt production, there is no other single publication which gathers together the historical background and specification data for all the aircraft currently in service." - THE AEROSPACE PROFESSIONAL
"This is indeed a magnificent book of reference". Not only is the mass of data provided impressive, it comes as a beautifully presented and well arranged volume. Moreover, proof reading has been meticulous (what a welcome change from too many modern publications) and even the foreign accents seem to be correct. . . an attractive, comprehensive and affordable book of reference." - THE LOG
" . . .an essential source of information on the majority of old and new aircraft currently flying with military and civil users throughout the world." - DESPATCHES
". . . As a first reference source, Airlife's World Aircraft clearly works and it will undoubtedly become a well-thumbed tome . . ." - AIR-BRITAIN DIGEST
