This volume is essentially a reprint of a document produced by the United States War Department and issued to US forces in 1943. Intended as a practical aircraft recognition guide for the man in the street (should that be 'the man in the dugout'?), it is intelligently produced and contains far more than simple black three-view drawings of aircraft types, both 'ours' and 'theirs'. For each design there is a list of distinguishing features, a summary of basic facts and a series of photos taken from various angles to aid recognition. There's also a useful glossary of terms used, with a good, practical explanation of each.
