Yes, I'll admit – I was one of those kids wondering who this Jane woman was and why she was so interested in planes and ships and so on。 I've not seen one of their books (for Jane's is very much a company now, using the first bloke's surname) in donkeys' years, but I can't imagine them utterly different from this。 From the fifth generation back, this takes us through the development of fighter jets, easily if slightly drily offering short essays for each one on its development, power, gear, arma Yes, I'll admit – I was one of those kids wondering who this Jane woman was and why she was so interested in planes and ships and so on。 I've not seen one of their books (for Jane's is very much a company now, using the first bloke's surname) in donkeys' years, but I can't imagine them utterly different from this。 From the fifth generation back, this takes us through the development of fighter jets, easily if slightly drily offering short essays for each one on its development, power, gear, armaments and owners。 Detailed side-on pictures, lovely photos, databanks – all that you'd expect is here, and if I think briefly about it all that might be lacking is the full operational history。 Mind you, these things are so bloody deadly and so bloody expensive to build, buy and operate, the pacifist in me is rather happy there is not a lot of usage to be reported。 (Also, Saudi Arabia's use of the Eurofighter might not be quite what we intended when we sold dozens to them, but nobody dare complain too much。)For the non-military minded, there is the quite surprisingly recent development of all-weather systems and targeting, as opposed to planes that could only operate in daylight, and a perhaps-to-be-expected spread of CAFMA – Clumsy As Military Acronyms。 The biggest issue must be, however, that it's going backwards – the most modern might be the sexiest, but they're the under-used, the less frequently bought, flown and shown, and someone wanting to gen up on the progression here will have to speed to Su-27s before what came after in time, but before it on the page。 Still, that's not a major issue as there aren't that many planes of any one type – for yes, we cover transporters, bombers, recon flights and more before we're done。 For anyone about to goof in the comments on Big Jet TV's next airbase visit, this will be a face-saver。 For many military buffs and fans of flight, this will be delightful and should be most educational。 Either way, it's a good-looking gift choice。 。。。more
