I must say the entire series came as a pleasant surprise, even for an old military aircraft history buff such as myself. Great profile drawings of well known and not-so-well known aircraft are prolific throughout the pages of these books, and the text, while scant in some areas, is rather enlightening in others. I'm always eager to discover new and oddball facts about the historic military aircraft that I've studied for so many years, and these volumes do not disappoint.The British authorship of these books is readily apparent in the "Allied Fighters 1939-45" and "Allied Bombers 1939-45" volumes. The first 100 pages of each of these volumes begins with, naturally, British aircraft, and the remaining 82 pages of each volume covers, secondly, US aircraft, and then the rest of the Allies' aircraft. It's as if the author's intent was to write a book about British fighters and bombers 1939-1945 but then decided, "Oh, yeah, there were these other countries that had aircraft, too!" I can't fault this, though; the books are so well done, and there are so many other plentiful resources out there, that this becomes only a very minor irritant in the overall enjoyment of these series.My favorites in the series, however, are the "Aircraft of World War I 1914-1918" and the "Aircraft of the Cold War 1945-1991" volumes, the latter of which I am actually reviewing. The World War I volume has so much interesting data about the well known and not-so-well known wood and wire aircraft of this era, not to mention background data on the famous and not-so-famous battles in which they fought, that it was almost a complete history lesson on the Great War in itself. The Cold War volume is, likewise, a valuable history lesson of the reasons behind the Cold War and all the numerous back-water battlegrounds that one doesn't normally get to read about in other historic aircraft material. The many excellent aircraft profiles, of course, add greatly to these history lessons.I recommend this historic aircraft series to everyone who is interested in military aviation history, novice and veteran historian alike. ### ⭐⭐⭐ Good, but could be much better.
