This volume is an illustrated guide to jet warplanes. The author presents the aircraft likely to be in production or due for deployment in the 1990s. He discusses technologically cutting edge and futuristic concept aircraft, as well as stealth aircraft. He moves on to the field of avionics, presenting advances in the communications, navigation, the display and management of multiple systems within a single aircraft. He looks at jet fighters built with the Cold War and combat with the U.S.S.R. in mind, moving on to more specialized fighter planes such as ones capable of flight from an aircraft carrier and jets capable of vertical takeoffs and landings. The author finishes with a look at military aircraft designed to attack ground and sea targets, by dropping bombs on them, firing torpedoes at them, or by launching cruise missiles at them.
