Excerpt: 

Here is the new and improved database of military aircraft types. For each type in the lists, a short description (5 to 10 lines) and some technical data are given. The lists are arranged by country, and sorted alphabetically. If you are uncertain about the correct name of an aircraft, you can refer to the description of aircraft designation systems below.

Annotation: 

An extensive database of military aircraft from around the world. Brief accounts of each plane's performance and history accompanies technical specifications. The database is slightly difficult to manipulate, as it must be browsed by country and then alphabetically. However, the material is comprehensive and also includes essays and data table on topics such as Peace-Time Shoot-Downs, a WWII Fighter Performance Chart, German Secret Weapons of WWII, and Largest Aircraft by Year as well as a detailed bibliography.
