[From front jacket flap] From Cambodia to Africa and the Middle East, military aircraft, armed with guided missiles, fight the wars and guard the borders of large and small nations alike. As the great powers vie with each other for air supremacy, so do the smaller nations increase their own airpower to gain stature over their neighbors. This struggle for one-upmanship has produced such a bewildering variety of new types of specialized aircraft that it is difficult to keep abreast of all the changes. This thoroughly updated volume covers the leading attack and training aircraft produced throughout the world since 1960. Eighty pages in full color show three views of the aircraft, displaying authentic color schemes that are essential to model makers. The supporting text gives accurate information on the development and service careers of the aircraft, together with extensive data on their performance, weaponry, and specifications. Together with the companion volume, Bombers in Service, this pocket guide provides the aviation student, aircraft buff, and modelmaker with an unparalleled and authoritative history of modem air power.
