OBSERVER’S BOOK OF AIRCRAFT

Available from most bookshops, rec retail $5.

If you are into aviation and don’t have a copy of the Observer’s Book of Aircraft then you’re not serious.

For more than three decades the little 250-plus page Observer’s has been a virtual bible to those people even mildly involved in aviation. The 1980 edition offers the same precise information on more than 140 aircraft types in current production or development. Along with a photograph and a complete resume including status, performance and all related technical data, each aircraft is identified with an excellent three-view silhouette. So good is the production of the Observer’s that AADR has used the three view silhouettes for some time and of all our vast reference sources we use this little book more than any other – it is simply that good.
