Fighter

The evolution of the fighter jet has a rich history, spanning the somewhat primitive fighters constructed of wire, wood and fabric used in World War I, to the super-sleek fighters used by the military today. Fighter: Military Aircraft from World War I to the Present Day takes you through the history of fighter jets. It shows how they have evolved, how they transformed warfare and how they were designed to cater for modern combat and national defence. If you’ve ever dreamed of flying an Albatross DI, a Grumman F6F Hellcat, a De Havilland D.H. 98 Mosquito or a McDonnel F-4 Phantom II, this book can give a sense of what it would have been like, form the early days of flight warfare up to the present day.
