Artist and writer 'Robbie' Robinson has put together an enjoyably concise but definitive guide to the Republic Thunderstreak series of jets. This well researched account covers the background, development and operational duties of the F-84 and its variants, and the book is fully illustrated with contemporary and archive images. It covers all the major users of the F-84 at the time, and the individual units. Robbie's own excellent artwork illustrates many of the colour schemes used on the aircraft, plus the squadron insignias. He also supplies detailed drawings of crew uniforms, the cockpit layout and various components. For those interested in NATO jet aircraft used in the 'Cold War', this is a useful guide to the 'what and when' of these fighters/reconnaissance jets. For the modeller, the side views and drawings will provide information and inspiration in equal measure.
