This colourful and compact volume provides a useful guide to some 120 aircraft that served with the US Air Force from 1939-45. Some were pre-war aircraft that lasted only a short while into the conflict; others fought on throughout the war, undergoing great modification or even metamorphosis as a result; and finally there aircraft developed in the course of hostilities that were just too late to play a significant part. Both combat and non-combat aircraft are covered by text detailing each type`s origins, history and variants, followed by a full technical specification.
Additionally, each type is illustrated in colour and with a three-view diagram, the more important types also receiving large-scale colour treatment.


Mustang, Thunderbolt, Hellcat, Flying Fortress, Lightning; these are the names of some of the greatest American warplanes ever. These and more than a hundred others are fully described and profusely illustrated in The Hamlyn Concise Guide to American Aircraft of World War II, the most useful and colourful volume of its kind in print today.
