Aircraft in Profile Volume 1 Part 1

"With this series of superbly researched and excitingly illustrated volumes, the discerning collector can build up a unique aviation
library. This justly famous series has added a new meaning to the word Profile.
Internationally recognized aviation writers present comprehensive but concise histories of aircraft of many nations and of wide variety, both military and civil. There are the frail biplanes and triplanes of World War One, their successors of the 1920s and 1930s and the valiant breed of combat aircraft of World War Two. This was the dawn of the jet age and later volumes bring the wide selection into the swing-wing, supersonic 1970s.
Each book in the series contains about 50,000 words and around 250 illustrations and, not least, the finest examples of colour views available anywhere. The colour artwork will delight the eye of the historian and modeller alike."
