Product Description
Review
The most comprehensive guide to modern aircraft available to the general public has been completely revised to reflect major changes in the world's air forces and developments in the civil aviation business. Illustrated with line drawings, recognition silhouettes and brand new photographs.
Product Description
A completely revised, third edition of the most comprehensive guide to modern aircraft available to the general public. Essential for anyone interested in modern air travel.
Since the first edition of this book was published in 1996, there have been major changes to the world’s air forces and significant developments in the civil aviation business.
As we enter into the new millennium a new generation of military aircraft is entering service, and mid-life upgrades are significantly changing both military and civil fleets.
Jane’s Aircraft Recognition Guide provides technical specifications from Jane’s All the World’s Aircraft (published since 1909). The new format also allows for additional aircraft and information to be featured.
This comprehensive guide uses high-quality colour photography to illustrate the entire range of modern aircraft, from civil jet airliners and helicopters to combat support aircraft and business turboprops. This is the most complete guide available for anyone interested in aircraft recognition.

Doesn't Do What It Says On The Tin...,
By Zak (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jane's Aircraft Recognition Guide (Paperback)
Yes, it has colour pictures but.....
Sadly the original layout of separating into type (e.g. Jet, Swept Wings, rear Engines) has been abandoned in favour of alphabetical listings. This is supposed to be a recognition guide but, unfortunately, planes don't fly over in alphabetical order - in order to identify an aircraft you now have to plough through the whole of the book on the offchance you will come across the right one. It is no longer a recognition guide - simply a book of planes. In a word, Pants. EDIT - I notice that a lot of the earlier reveiws (the glowing ones - some more than 9 years ago) seem to refer to previous editions of this book - i.e. when it was still a useful guide. This seems a less than helpful to those buying the new edition!

Could be better,
By ma.nic@tin.it (Italy) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Jane's - Aircraft Recognition Guide (Jane's Recognition Guides) (Paperback)
All the pictures are small and B/W, quite a few don't help recognition very much. The silhouettes are tiny, almost completely black, in some cases unclear. Few technical data, nothing about engines, power, performances.

Where's the beef,
This review is from: Jane's - Aircraft Recognition Handbook (Jane's Recognition Guides) (Paperback)
I had looked forward to this for a long time, it was on back order and the release date kept slipping.... I had hoped for great things, at the very least a significant improvement on the first edition that has been well thumbed. Yes, it is now full of colour photos. But that is where the improvement stops in my opinion. Detail specs are now missing - no engine info and limited other details. The index is poor. Will I order the next edition before publication? - No.
