Directory of Military Aircraft of the World

The blunt-nosed 1948 Soviet MiG, the German-built Hoffman motor glider and the forthcoming 2005 Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor are just a few of the planes catalogued and photographed in the Directory of Military Aircraft of the World. Aviation author Peter R. March (Military Aircraft Markings) writes entries for 400 military planes from around the world, and includes 700 glossy photos and more than 200 drawings. March describes the development of each plane as well as its current service, special features and various models. (May)
