Amberley Publishing Military Aircraft on Display: First World War to the Present Day

The military aircraft featured in this book range from the monoplanes and biplanes of the early twentieth century to the hi-tech supersonic jet fighters used by air forces across the world today. These aircraft include not only planes, but also gyrocopters and helicopters. They can be seen giving displays at air days and airshows or as static exhibits at a wide variety of locations – military and aviation museums, airports, airfields and aerodromes – sometimes on an almost daily basis as they are still serving with the relevant air forces. Some aircraft are also found at military establishments around the country, where they are plinthed and act as gate guardians, or in the hands of private individuals, more often than not a section of the craft being displayed – cockpits, nosecones or part of the fuselage. The photographs in this book feature a broad range of military aircraft from the First World War right up to the modern day which can be seen on display in the skies and on the ground in Britain. Royston Morris’ book features a broad range of military aircraft from the First World War right up to the modern day which can be seen on display in the skies and on the ground in Britain.
