Compiled by the author of Jane’s Air Forces of the World, this book is a must for aviation experts.

In one volume the reader will find the composition and details of all air elements of a staggering 169 nations’ air forces and, where they exist, army air, naval air and such paramilitary organizations as the US Coast Guard Service.

By definition such a book must be regularly updated and David Wragg has researched his subject right up to the minute. This latest book supersedes the author’s early book in the Jane series.
