The combat aircraft of the various air arms of the United States armed forces represents a military capability which no other nation can match, providing the yardstick against which the warplanes of all other air forces must be judged. This book chronicles the development of most of them, from the Wright Flyers of the early 1900s to the AV-8B serving today's Marine Corps. It is a magnificent tribute to more than 200 combat aircraft to have seen service, each of them illustrated with a detailed three-view line drawing and a photograph usually in color and often appearing in a book for the very first time.
