Packed with over 200 illustrations, each entry includes a description of the model’s development and history, a profile view, key features and specifications. Ever since man first took to the air, combat aircraft have been at the cutting edge of aviation technology, resulting in some of the greatest and most complex designs ever built. Military Aircraft features 52 of the most important military aircraft of the last hundred years. The book includes all the main types, from biplane fighters and carrier aircraft to tactical bombers, transport aircraft, multirole fighters, strategic strike aircraft and stealth bombers. Featured aircraft include: the Fokker Dr.1 triplane, the legendary fighter flown by German flying ace Manfred von Richthofen, ‘the Red Baron’, during World War I; the Mitsubishi A6M Zero, Japan’s highly-manoeuvrable fighter that dominated air-to-air combat in the early part of the Pacific War; the tank-busting Il-2 Shturmovik, the most produced aircraft in World War II; the Harrier jump jet, a vertical take-off and landing (VTOL) fighter that has been service for more than 40 years; the B-2 Spirit bomber, an American precision strike aircraft used in recent conflicts in Kosovo, Iraq and Afghanistan; and the F-22 Raptor, an air superiority fighter with state-of-the-art stealth technology that makes it almost invisible to radars. Each entry includes a brief description of the model’s development and history, a profile view, key features and specifications. Packed with more than 200 artworks and photographs, Military Aircraft is a colourful guide for the military aviation enthusiast.","forthcoming":false,"isbn13":"9781838861285","publication_date":"20211014","publisher":"Amber Books","slug":"military-aircraft","subtitle":"World's Greatest Fighters, Bombers and Transport Aircraft From World War I to the Present","title":"Military Aircraft"},"discovery":{"categories":{"all":[{"bisac_code":"TRA002010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Aviation History","score":0.8466,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"HIS027140","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Military Aviation","score":0.8458,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"HIS027320","confidence_band":"high","label":"Military Aircraft","score":0.8434,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"hint":[{"bisac_code":"TRA002010","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Aviation History","score":0.8466,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"HIS027140","confidence_band":"medium","label":"Military Aviation","score":0.8458,"source":"bisac_hint_model"},{"bisac_code":"HIS027320","confidence_band":"high","label":"Military Aircraft","score":0.8434,"source":"bisac_hint_model"}],"publisher":[{"bisac_code":"HIS037080","confidence_band":"high","label":"21st-Century History","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"TEC002000","confidence_band":"high","label":"Aeronautics & Astronautics","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"},{"bisac_code":"TRA002010","confidence_band":"high","label":"Aviation History","score":1,"source":"onix_publisher_code"}]},"genres":[{"label":"Aviation History","score":0.8466,"slug":"aviation-history"},{"label":"Military Aviation","score":0.8458,"slug":"military-aviation"},{"label":"Military Aircraft","score":0.8434,"slug":"military-aircraft"}],"reader_fit":["Good for readers who enjoy Aviation History","Good for readers interested in military","Good for readers who enjoy Aviation History and Military Aviation."],"related_lists":[],"series":null,"similar_books":[{"authors":["Dan Hampton"],"book_id":"9780062262103","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9780062262103.jpg?v=20260417T204117Z-pairingsrefresh%3A2026-04-17T20%3A41%3A17Z","score":15.835,"title":"Lords of the Sky","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9780062262103"},{"authors":["Edward Ward"],"book_id":"9781838863272","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781838863272.jpg?v=20260417T204117Z-pairingsrefresh%3A2026-04-17T20%3A41%3A17Z","score":14.5056,"title":"American Bomber Aircraft of World War II","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781838863272"},{"authors":["Edward Ward","Ronny Bar"],"book_id":"9781838864781","cover_image_url":"https://img.bookfrontier.com/9781838864781.jpg?v=20260417T204117Z-pairingsrefresh%3A2026-04-17T20%3A41%3A17Z","score":14.4499,"title":"British Aircraft of World War I","url":"https://bookfrontier.com/books/9781838864781"},{"authors":["Michael Burgan","Dennis E.
