More than 100 of the world's most significant and influential fighter aircraft -- from the canvas-and-string contraptions of World War 1 to the amazing stealth fighters that are now taking air combat into the 21st century -- are depicted in superbly detailed cutaway drawings. Accompanied by fascinating technical and developmental descriptions that explain each aircraft's importance in layperson's terms, each drawing reveals and clearly identifies the aircraft's airframe structures, engines, fuel tanks, avionics and weaponry, and is complemented by a three-view drawing and action photograph.
