"During the years of the Cold War, combat aircraft technology advanced at an astonishing pace. This book profiles 35 postwar jet aircraft, from those that might have come into conflict during the dangerous years of international brinkmanship, including the North American F-86 Sabre and MiG-21, to modern-day war machines such as the Boeing F-15 Eagle and Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor. ... Each aircraft is presented in a unique seven-view format, showing not only the left and right profiles and top and front views, but also the view from the rear, and also from below, which reveals the weapons hardpoints or bomb bay, and the undercarriage configuration. The spectacularly detailed digital artworks, created in 3D then rendered as elevations, have never been available in book form before. Published here alongside informed text, archive photography, and full specifications, these unique artworks make this appealing book a must for modellers and aviation buffs alike"--Front dust jkt. flap.
