With the aid of 232 extraordinarily detailed drawings, this book shows how a wide selection of classic and modern military aircraft were put together - both inside and out. From World War II to the present day, each complex line drawing is annotated with an exhaustive key including up to 200 entries from air ducts to the nosewheel leg pivot mounting. The illustrations are complemented by colour photographs with extended captions, plus detailed information about each aircraft's operational specifications.
