Jagdflugzeuge - Weltweit

Jagdflugzeuge gehören zu den leistungsfähigsten und technisch ausgereiftesten Flugzeugkonstruktionen. Ihr Name ist Programm: Sie wurden entwickelt, um gegnerische Flugzeuge zu jagen, einzuholen und im Luftkampf zu stellen. Dazu wurde vor allem nach dem Zweiten Weltkrieg immer wieder technisches Neuland betreten; die Entwicklungen überschlugen sich stellenweise und jedes Jahr waren die Maschinen leistungsfähiger. Es galt: höher, schneller, weiter.

In seinem neuesten Band stellt Heiko Thiesler gewohnt fundiert die ca. 50 wichtigsten Typen seit 1945 vor. Zeichnungen und Leistungsdaten runden dieses reich illustrierte Kompendium ab.

Avions espions

Depuis que les hommes sont capables de voler à bord d'engins plus lourds que l'air, ils utilisent les avions pour recueillir des informations sur leurs adversaires.
Cet ouvrage retrace l'histoire de la reconnaissance aérienne. Y sont abordés des sujets tels que la place des avions espions dans la doctrine militaire, des événements comme la crise des missiles de Cuba ou la fin du U-2 de Gary Powers, le traité Ciel ouvert et le programme Big Safari de l'US Air Force.

Les auteurs décrivent 70 avions espions célèbres - leur conception, leur mise au point et leur histoire opérationnelle - et fournissent des photos et des fiches techniques détaillant leurs principales caractéristiques.
Depuis les avions à hélices jusqu'aux avions à réaction, voici un excellent ouvrage de référence sur l'histoire de ces "yeux dans le ciel" qui depuis plus d'un siècle se distinguent dans l'aviation militaire par des technologies incroyables alliées à une touche de mystère.

Modern Military Aircraft (The World's Great Weapons)

A comprehensive study of the fighting aircraft of every nationality from the beginning of the Cold War to the present, illustrated with hundreds of detailed artworks of aircraft and their markings. The book is split into two volumes, the first detailing aircraft in the Cold War era, and the second outlining aircraft from 1990 to the present day. Chapters are divided by theatre, then further subdivided by conflict and nationality.
The first volume provides a comprehensive study of the airplanes in service with NATO and the Warsaw Pact from the end of World War II until the reunification of Germany in 1989. Famous aircraft employed in various Cold War conflicts are included, such as the Gloster Meteor, MiG-17, and Republic F-84 Thunderstreak, as well as lesser-known models, such as the Yak 23, Shenyang F-6, and FMA Pucará.
The second volume provides a detailed analysis of aircraft since 1990, including ubiquitous workhorses such as the F-16 Fighting Falcon, Dassault Rafale, and MiG- 21, as well as the latest in aviation technology, such as the Eurofighter EF2000, Sukhoi Su-30, and F-22A Raptor. Every type of aircraft is included, from frontline fighters, through transports, attack helicopters, reconnaissance aircraft, long-range bombers, and stealth fighters.

Packed with more than 500 color artworks and photographs with exhaustive specifications, Modern Military Aircraftis a key reference for modelers and enthusiasts of modern military aviation.
