Modern Military Aircraft features more than 100 of the most important and influential military aircraft serving today, ranging from the latest F-35 Lightning II stealth fighter and Chinese Shaanxi KJ-500 AWACS aircraft, to the venerable Soviet era Tu-160 heavy bomber and Mitsubishi F-2, the Japan Air Self-Defense Force’s development of the F-16 multirole fighter.
Each aircraft is illustrated with three artworks and a photograph, showing the markings and camouflage of each model. Accompanying text puts the type’s development, production and service history into context.
There is also a specifications table for each aircraft detailing dimensions, performance, weight, engine(s) and armament.
Presented in a compact, pocket-size volume, Modern Military Aircraft is a vivid and authoritative guide to the greatest military aircraft in service today.
