Spanish Air Force Aircraft 1939-2021

At the end of the Spanish Civil War in 1939, the Air Ministry was created and, on 7 October of that year, the Spanish Air Force, or Ejército del Aire (EdA), was born.
Starting life from the ashes of conflict, it has grown to become on of the most important air forces in Europe.

To date, there have not been many books published about the history of the EdA, an oversight this volume seeks to redress. Illustrated with over 200 stunning photographs of bombers, fighters, transport, reconnaissance, attack, liaison and trainer aircraft, along with seaplanes and helicopters, taken over several decades, this book covers the history and aircraft of the EdA from its inception to the present day.
The many aircraft detailed include the Fiat Cr.32, Ju 52 and Bf 109 from the early days through to the A400M Atlas, F-18 Hornet and Eurofighter EF2000 currently flown.

Aviación Militar Española

Ever since the Wright brothers were successfully flying the first self-propelled aircraft in history on 17 December 1903, the desire to conquer the air and the intention to put the new aircraft to warlike use was a constant on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. Spain was no exception.

The authors of this volume offer us a complete and detailed vision of the evolution of aviation in our country: from the first aeroplanes to the most modern aircraft, as well as an overview of the history of Spanish warfare.
